Just use <block/> as the equivalent of a <br>.
I've done this in multi-line headings, or figure and caption combinations.
For example:
<block text-align="center" ..blah.. ..blah... >
<external-graphic .....>
<block/>
Caption text goes here
</block>
A block breaks the block-progression-direction of the flow, so an empty
block has the same behaviour that is triggered in HTML as a <br>.
I hope this helps.
