<p>Just one observation of mine. In the register of the mainland, we don't usually use 有 in this kind of sentences because it's kinda redundant. Like (10), 我有看过这本小说。== 我看过这本小说。 I've heard Taiwan folks typically used 有 in this kind of sentences. </p>

(12) *sounds* ok but not really.

I just said 'ok', of course it's not a good one. In fact, I heard it was said by some of my colleagues from Taiwan.

<p>(1) does seem weird to me, but I am not certain.
(2) and (4) shows that 過 and 了 can both mark the completeness of action only if they appear immediately after the verb, while 了 can appear in the very end of sentence. Such construction even works in (6) "過...了".
(10) seems to suggest "有...過" is the only correct pattern for stressing the sentence.</p>

see grammar e.g. "实用现代汉语语法＂regarding 动态助词，aspect particles: 了，着，过， end of sentence 了 is a 语气助词，modal particle, 了，过 as aspect particles follow verbs,thus 3,5,9,11 are invalid, 有看 seems questionable 
((have seen?) see discussions of validity and possible meaning of such forms  elsewhere) , for end-of-sentence 了 may also search site for previous discussions

我看這本小說了 is right pattern in oracle Chinese, generally it means 我马上就要去看這本小說了 (going to read).

I also agree with you for most of them, and I'd like to point out:

* (1) is grammatically correct, despite sounding strange. It's sometimes heard in spoken language, but mostly because the speaker says it in a hurry.
* (7)-(12) seems old-fashioned. People don't speak like those *that* often, but still there is:

  > — 有誰看過這本小說？ (Has anyone read ...)  
  > — 我有看過。 (I have.)

  (10) is right, and as you have said, it's used to stress/emphasize the action having been done.
* (12) is wrong. We don't use more than one word about perfect tense in an emphasizing context.
