FWIW: I think the answer is no empty pages. The break-after has  
consequences only for possible content following the second fo:block,  
the break-before has no effect because the second fo:block does not  
generate any areas itself. Just one forced page-break, due to the  
break-after.

This made me wonder: the above could be normalized by removing those  
two nodes and setting a break-before on the possibly following  
fo:block (if it does not already have break-before specified).
Normalizations like this could prove to be yet another possibility to  
release FOs or Properties sooner (before layout is even triggered).

Not that it would occur that often, but maybe there are other such  
constructs that occur more frequently (?)
