Umm, let's ignore the database and talk about the GnuCash objects,
please? You shouldn't be modifying the database, you should be using
the GnuCash APIs to enter your data.

So you mean the gncEntryGetInvoice() result?

Again, please consider using the object model instead of table. So you
are saying that the gncEntryGetInvoice() is NULL? Is this a customer
Invoice or a Vendor Bill? What about gncEntryGetBill()?

What API did the Importer use to add the entry to the Invoice (or Bill)?

Do you really need the join here? What about the entry bill?

I still don't understand what you mean by "Orphan Invoices" here. I
think it's a terminology issue here. It sounds to me like you have
"Orphan Entries", not "Orphan Invoices", and I'm trying to understand
how these could be orphaned unless there is a bug in the importer.
