I actually think this is correct behavior. From the CSS 2.1 spec, "Allowed Page Breaks":

Quote:
In the normal flow, page breaks can occur at the following places:
  1. In the vertical margin between block boxes. When a page break occurs here, the used values of the relevant 'margin-top' and 'margin-bottom' properties are set to '0'.
  2. Between line boxes inside a block box.
These breaks are subject to the following rules:
  • Rule A: Breaking at (1) is allowed only if the 'page-break-after' and 'page-break-before' properties of all the elements generating boxes that meet at this margin allow it, which is when at least one of them has the value 'always', 'left', or 'right', or when all of them are 'auto'.
[Emphasis added]
Seems pretty straightforward. Firefox/libgecko also expresses the same behavior when operating in paginated mode for i.e. printing. Not sure about IE, but the MSReader renderer doesn't ignore the "relevant margin," alas.
