Hi John,
I'm not able to duplicate your problem. I ran xsltproc with your file
through your stylesheet, which imports the DocBook stylesheet over the web
from http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/doc/docbook43/mss/fo/docbook.xsl. It was slow,
but that works ok. I changed the import to my local copy of 1.69.1, and
that worked as well.
Looking at your trivial.fo, the section element is generating a
page-sequence within the page-sequence for the article. But the stylesheet
should only do that when the section is the root element (has no parent
element), using this template in fo/sections.xsl:
<xsl:template match="section[not(parent::*)]" name="section.page.sequence">
Somehow that template is being called for your section, but I can't explain
how.
