I think you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. You don't need to mess around with .git/annex/objects at all. You can replace git-annex symlinks with new files and git annex add the new content.
For example:
[[!format sh \"\"\"
joey@gnu:~/tmp/repo>git annex drop --force foo
drop foo ok
(Recording state in git...)
joey@gnu:~/tmp/repo>ls
foo@
joey@gnu:~/tmp/repo>rm foo
joey@gnu:~/tmp/repo>echo \"new good contents\" > foo
joey@gnu:~/tmp/repo>git annex add foo
add foo (checksum...) ok
(Recording state in git...)
joey@gnu:~/tmp/repo>git commit -m add
[master ec3ed14] add
