Thanks for the help. It did lead me to the solution, although it turned out the answer was really that I had to set the row height on the table. I think there is no margin-top on region-after (couldn't see it in the spec and didn't seem to make a difference). Anyway I made the region-body margin-bottom the same as the region-after extent and changed the overflow as you suggested. The problem remained and I looked again at the table itself.
If I adjusted the length of the table I could get the bottom of it to meet the top of the region-after, which suggested that the regions are just fine. The problem was that this only happened on the final page. On the earlier pages there was a gap. So the penny dropped at last for me, it was really only happening when the table was sizing itself around the number of rows it was rendering. This meant the real solution was to set the table-row height attribute to some value that gave a whole number of rows in the table height. Sure enough that worked fine. Thanks for the help.

I ended up using a margin-top (eg ="18.05cm") on the region-after as well as an extent, and removing the table height completely which gives a table which expands to fit the actual size on each page. Also you are specifying overflow="hidden" on all regions, which doesn't sound like what you are after for the region-body at least.
