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.
