I had an idea this had been addressed. Was I wrong, or is it back for some reason?

I think that is intentional. It has been like that forever.
The ePub built-in stylesheet has the following line:
Code:
body { padding-bottom: %1 !important; }
where %1 is the height of one line.
In other words, a blank line is added automatically at the end of every chapter, the effect of which is to (sometimes) push the last line onto the next page.
Some publishers also add their own code to do the same thing, sometimes by adding a blank paragraph at the end of a chapter.
In some cases this can combine with the stylesheet to push more than one line to the next page.
(Edit: Those who patch the firmware might not see this, depending on their choice of patches, because some of the patches remove this line from the built-in stylesheet to make room for other things.)
