Hmm, that is precisely it, I'm afraid, and it is enabled by default. The 
extension property is prefixed 'disable-' precisely because it alters FOP's 
standard behavior. Column-balancing doesn't work as expected in some scenarios, 
mainly in combination with footnotes, but for not-too-complex use cases, it 
should suffice.

I thought you were referring to unbalanced columns within the same page, which 
can happen on the last page. The other pages should already be balanced. I must 
have misunderstood the issue...?
