This is a limitation of FOP. It doesn't support the keep-with-next or
keep-together properites of the XSL-FO specification. BTW, <beginpage/>
doesn't insert a page break. The definition of the <beginpage/> element
indicates that it refers to a page break in a former (print) version of the
document.
