Unrelated to your issue, region-body should be specified before the others to match the content model in 6.4.12.
7.5.1 says "absolute" is to the containing area and "fixed" is to the viewport, so you are witnessing "fixed" behaviour for the value "absolute" in XEP.
Looking at page 4 of the support document for XEP it states:
absolute-position="fixed" works on ?fo:block-container? only
So I think what you are seeing is consistent with their documentation, though perhaps the wording should be "only a-p="fixed" works on <b-c>".
What did you understand from their documentation?
I hope this helps.

Unrelated to your issue, region-body should be specified before the others to match the content model in 6.4.12.

Both XEP and FOP draw the red rectangle.
With XEP its left and top edges are placed on the left and top edges of the paper sheet (page viewport area), while with FOP they are placed on the left and top edges of the page reference area (ie the page minus the page margins).
I think the result produced by FOP is correct with respect to the XSL-FO Recommandation, but I am not sure, and I would be pleased if somebody could give his opinion.
7.5.1 says "absolute" is to the containing area and "fixed" is to the viewport, so you are witnessing "fixed" behaviour for the value "absolute" in XEP.
