Not when I use either Antenna House or XEP ... what you have appears to

and break-before="page" ... these facilities are getting triggered as 
expected when I use  these two tools (though indentation appears to be a 
bit askew).

So do I ... perhaps it is the tool that you are using (you don't mention
