The FO output is as follows (for the part in question)
<fo:block-container font-family="HelveticaNeue" font-weight="normal"
font-style="normal"
font-size="7pt"
line-height="8.4pt"
text-align="left"
color="cmyk(34%,30%,32%,9%) "
top="140.581mm"
left="12.7mm"
width="50mm"
height="11mm"
position="absolute"
border-color="red"
border-style="solid"
border-width="1px">
<fo:table font-family="HelveticaNeue" font-weight="normal"
font-style="normal"
font-size="7pt"
line-height="8.4pt"
text-align="left"
color="cmyk(34%,30%,32%,9%) "
width="50mm"
height="11mm">
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell font-family="HelveticaNeue"
font-weight="normal" font-style="normal"
font-size="7pt"
line-height="8.4pt"
text-align="left"
color="cmyk(34%,30%,32%,9%) "
display-align="after">
<fo:block>
<fo:inline font-weight="normal"
font-style="normal" text-decoration="no-underline"
vertical-align="baseline"
font-size="100%">*Small print to be
added here</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:block-container>
Without the table it displays fine just not bottom aligned.

In the future, can you please post the generated FO markup? That helps us
identify, reproduce and understand the issue better. Right now, based only
on the XSLT code, we have to infer/imagine which attributes are included in
the 'smallprint' set. Not that they are necessarily relevant here, but
still...
Suppose, for example, that the attribute-set 'smallprint' contains a
relative font-size of "0.6em".
Assuming that this attribute-set is also used in the matching template for
Smallprint nodes, then if you start off with a font-size of 10pt, in the
outer block-container it will be 6pt, and by the time the text is actually
reached, that may have shrunk to well below 2pt, which would make the text
near invisible at normal zoom.

This just as some advice that will yield quicker and more to-the-point
responses.

(in FOP 1.0), assuming that there is nothing too exotic in that 'smallprint'
attribute set or the other content (which we cannot see in your XSL code).
The only thing that does not work, AFAIK, is a forced "height" on fo:table.
To work around the latter, you can force the table to grow to the desired
size by wrapping the cell content in a fo:block-container with explicit
height.
HTH!
