For you, apparently. Doesn't seem to be for anyone else.

It's certainly Amazon's problem and not mine that "doc" and "docx" uploads don't now have pagebreaks on the mobi preview download, or bought off the USA site for Kindle Keyboard. I'm not actually sure if the retail azw downloads for later Kindles lack the page breaks from the doc uploads. Anyway it looks cheap and rubbishy simply having a big gap before a new chapter heading, and it used to work. Workaround is to upload epub2.

Well, I don't know what
you're doing wrong, or
not doing, but I just this moment--
JUST this moment--uploaded a docx that was styled using a style with page-break-before: and it worked just fine. I downloaded the Preview mobi, and
voila!, page breaks before the chapter heads.
Didn't do anything special. Took an old Agatha Christie (Secret Adversary) that I'd downloaded from PG, cleaned the Word file previously, and just now went in, inserted the modification to the style (page-break before in the paragraph dialogue) and it works perfectly. Works whether you use section breaks, the manual way, or with the style break. Tested both. Worked on KF8 and KF7 devices. Didn't do anything unique or special and the file isn't even in what I'd call good shape.
It's a file I'd been using for another demo purpose, so it's partly cleaned and styled...just DOCX. Nothing magical.
Perhaps it's YOUR doc or docx files, made from LO or whatever program you're using. Whatever it is, however--again, doesn't seem to be
Amazon's problem.
Whatever. Of course, there's
always the possibility that I'm STILL "missing the point."
