It most certainly does, thanks. Maybe I should notify the FOP devs.

Remember that a "break condition" is not a command to break.  If the
flow is at a point that satisfies the break condition, nothing
happens.  Something only happens to ensure that the break condition
is being met.

Meanwhile, I ran your FO file through Antenna House and where you say
on page 3:

   The extra page inserted before this one (page 2) is supposed to
   use the "blank" page master, but instead it uses the
   "main.even.master" one, which leads to it having a page number
   at the bottom

... there is a completely blank page on page 2.

This leads me to think the problem is with your formatter and not your FO.

I hope this helps.
