I withdraw this suggestion, given the evidence in the other thread (that I
started about the example on this page).

But that evidence further confirms to me that what I'm seeing here is indeed
a bug, since it looks like no automatic page breaks should be inserted at
all when page-break-permission is ##f (regardless of ragged-bottom or
ragged-last-bottom settings).

As David Kastrup suggested on the user list this issue is probably related:
