    Hello Marc,

    The situation you describe reveals incorrect behavior of XEP indeed.
    I believe the XEP should have selected pagemaster for 'blank' page in
    this case. However in your case more convenient way to achieve desired
    effect is to set force-page-count="end-on-even" on the previous
    page-sequence (this property aimed to the cases like this one by XSL FO
    spec and works fine with XEP).

    Best regards,
