Overflow in block-level elements
In short, overflow is allowed in fo:block-container but not in fo:block.
However formatting properties states:

Does "block-level element" refer to fo:block?
I'm afraid I don't know the definition of this. Any pointers would be
appreciated.

As far as I understand the spec the "overflow" property applies only to
FOs which create a viewport area.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#prapply also says:
Property overflow applies to: fo:region-body, fo:region-before,
fo:region-after, fo:region-start, fo:region-end, fo:block-container,
fo:external-graphic, fo:instream-foreign-object, and fo:inline-container.
For a table-cell it means you have to place a block-container in it if
you want to clip content. table-cell itself only creates reference-areas.

Thanks for the explanation.
I was just wondering if the spec is being misunderstood or is inaccurate in
some manner.

Not exactly: overflow /is applicable to/ block-container, but not to
block.

Strictly speaking, yes, but since the property does not apply to
fo:block...
Why? Well, because a block has no width/height, so there is no
possibility of overflow in either direction.
