I think this is a waste: in a page master sequence you have probably a title, a left and a right page, and if something still desn't fit, it probably won't forever. Space used by unexpected footnotes can probably catered for by another try, so I'd use 4 tries total. If you consider max-page-count, then any number can be just one too small. Also, perhaps some checks of page masters occuring a second time in a sequence of pages kept blank by spilling could provide a more robust solution.

I think a FOPException is preferable.
