Wulf, did you try the "nuclear" method to make sure you started from a clean document? Word can leave a lot of detritus in its documents after you've been working on them for a while, and that will get picked by Smashwords' very aptly named Meatgrinder (I've only ever used that for short stories, my novels I upload only as EPUB).

What document formats are showing this phantom page break?

Assuming the problem includes EPUB and/or online, have you looked at the HTML and CSS produced? There should be some hints in there as to what is going on, and perhaps where it came from.
