Has it never occured to you that the pulsar pulse might be
strongly reflected from the dwarf?...

No. What would happen if the pulsar pulses *were* strongly
reflected? What would happen to those pulses?

Dunno. I haven't thought about it much...but something might happen.

It's simple really, you would see two sets of pulses with
the smaller being a delayed copy of the larger. Unlike any
possible interpulse (the other pole's beam) that delay would
vary with the phase of the orbit.
