Comment:

 I like the pending idea. how about this workflow:

  - if any parent is draft or pending, set the status to future.
  - in cron, check if a page's parents are all published before actually
 publishing
  - on publish the parent page, publish all children with a status of
 future

 that way, you end up using existing WP workflow to fix the issue. the post
 remains around to be browsed by editors, but isn't available to the
 public.
