For some renderers you may have to include some content in the <div>, or it will be discarded: <div class="pagebreak">&nbsp;</div> should be enough.
Oh, okay, thanks -- I'll put that space in my div, then.

I guess there's not much I can do -- no matter how I tried to do this -- about older (or crappier) devices that would ignore what I'm trying to accomplish here, but hopefully in time these things will just be the norm.

If/when I decided to convert my EPUB to MOBI format, for Kindle, are there any issues related to this that I should know about? I do hope that I don't have to completely re-think (and re-do) everything for that.

There's a caveat with this solution (or with forcing pagebreaks in general): the page numbers in ADE will ignore this pagebreak, i.e., there will be no new page number after the pagebreak, it will just continue being the same "page" as before.
Oh, gee, I took a look and you're right! That's weird. Well, I suppose most people won't be paying too close attention to the page numbering anyway in their e-readers -- they're not exactly "burned in stone" anyway, of course.

Thanks so much for your help, Jellby -- as always! You should get a medal for the number of times you've saved the day (for me, and others).
