I got the achievement (and Ghost) on my first playthrough. Maybe they patched and changed some things since the time you played. Regarding your points, here's what I did.

1) Played on hard difficulty.

2) Also shielded myself against the assassins, since the game warned about it.

3) Poisoning the distillery does not count towards this, unlike the above commenter said. During the final confrontation between the Granny Rags and Slackjaw, I choked Granny rags, which made her turn into rats. Then, after doing you-know-what, I used a sleep dart on her. For some reason the rats disappeared, but I think it's possible to hide her body from them.

4) Did the same thing. The only exception being in the Flooded District because these guys spotted me way to easily and I was kinda pissed at them, but none of them died and I lefted most of the bodies in high ground.

5) Used a sleep dart on Lord Shaw.

6) Where is six? Well, I'll make a six. I killed lots of rats, every river krust I found in my way and quite a few hagfish.

7) I was carrying Lady Boyle when I approached Lord Brisby. From the sound she made, it seemed she fell kinda hard on the ground. Maybe I got lucky, maybe this isn't an issue… I don't know.

8) I saved Piero and Sokolov, and did you-know-what. After doing that, I checked the guardsmen bodies. One of them fell in the river and died. But apparently it didn't matter.

9) Same thing, but I used a couple of sleep darts on them in the Kennels.

Some extra points:

10) Even though some characters said it's better to put weepers out of their misery, I didn't kill any of them.

11) Not sure if it's relevant, but I also changed the configuration file to allow more than just 5  bodies per map (or 10, can't remember). Who knows what happens to those bodies that disappear… maybe they go into the Void and count as deaths?

Hope that helps.
