At first glance, nothing seems wrong. Then I noticed this:

This seems weird. If your XSLT would really be generating separate  
page-sequences, the tables should indeed be separated by a page- 
break. Unless they all happen to just take up enough space to fill up  
entire pages, you should notice /some/ effect on every last page of a  
sequence...

Did you already check the resulting FO to see if it indeed contains  
multiple fo:page-sequences?

Forward references could still be a bit problematic for very large  
reports, although splitting into multiple page-sequences already  
saves some here too.

Difficult to say. As indicated, I'd start by checking the FO to see  
whether it actually contains what you expect.
