You may do the following trick:
1. Define a page size that a slightly bigger than the real content.
(<fo:simple-page-master page-height="297mm+<bleed>"
page-width="210mm+<bleed>" master-name="main">)
where <bleed> is the size of a desired bleed area.
2. Set margins on fo:region equals to <existing margins>+<bleed>
3. Define all other regions (start, end, before, after), if don't have
them. Extent of each "auxiliary" region is the <existing extent> (if the
region did exist)+<bleed>.
4. Use any background color/content with the background color on a such
"bleed" area of regions.
5. Don't set 'bleed' using PI. Set 'crop' as you did.

Robert,
I think the same trick is also suitable for you (if you don't use other
region's overriding techniques).
