Preliminary results: We don't test initial-page-number for "auto-odd" and "auto-even" in our test suite. :-( There may be something wrong there. Will have to look closer. The good news for you is that your document works and produces 12 pages with the latest FOP Trunk (directly from Subversion) as Gerhard Oettl recently submitted a patch that enabled force-page-count. So, initial-page-number may still have a bug but at least your document should work.
