*Every* page?  From what I can see the pages 
before the table would be fine and the problem 
would only be pages after the table.

I think you need first-including-carryover in 
order for the last page with the table to work.

><xsl:apply-templates select="title" />
></fo:marker>
></fo:block>
><fo:block>
><fo:marker marker-class-name="table-caption-continued">
><xsl:apply-templates select="title" /> - Continued </fo:marker>
></fo:block>

That looks fine ... the first page of the table 
gets just the title, while the subsequent pages get the " - Continued".

></fo:table-and-caption>
></xsl:template>

What I don't see above is "turning it off" ... 
after the table you should have a block that 
defines the marker to be empty so that when it is 
retrieved on subsequent pages what is retrieved is nothing.

There is helpful information on pages 257-260 (A4 
version) or pages 259-262 (US-letter version) of 
my XSL-FO book that is available for free 
download on a "try and buy" basis at 
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#pfux 
.... if you decide not to pay for the book, please 
delete the copy that you download for free.

I hope this helps.
