In short, overflow is allowed in fo:block-container but not in fo:block.

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

However formatting properties states:

7.20.2 "overflow"

This property specifies whether the content of a block-level element is
clipped when it overflows the element's box (which is acting as a

Does "block-level element" refer to fo: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.
