(Hey, you had room for the paragraph to start, but, what the hell, I prefer starting it in the next page!!! Widows & orphans are fully respected, so no bug at all).
That would violate the orphans setting, by not allowing the paragraph to start when at least two lines could be displayed at the end of a page and doing so would display at least two lines (with default settings) on the next page. GeoffR's example is a relatively rare instance where the paragraph is just the right size that there are two equally valid display solutions (3+2 and 2+3) and the engine must choose between them.

It is also possible to have a paragraph that is short enough and located such that there is no obvious way to simultaneously obey both the widows and orphans settings, therefore forcing one to take precedence...such as a three-line paragraph at the end of a page, W&O both set to 2, and room for two more lines on that page. Obeying W by displaying the first two lines violates O, so the only valid option is to apparently violate W by skipping those two lines and showing all three on the next page. Yes, it's ugly, but it follows the rules.
