Nope. :-(

If height="auto", and the content grows sufficiently large, absolute-positioned 
block-containers will eventually cause overflow at the relevant edge of the 
page (or more precisely: whatever area they are 'absolutely' positioned in), 
but will never trigger a page-break themselves. I guess you could see it as 
kind of a static-content, but then, not repeated.

Indeed. You would basically have to precompute and force all the breaks 
yourself, instead of leaving that up to FOP. :-/
