    This is really a question for the docbook-apps mailing list since it is a
    DocBook XSL stylesheet issue.

    Using the 'section.level1.properties' attribute set works for me when I test
    with version 1.65.1 of the stylesheets and XEP 3. That's the attribute set
    you should be using because the bookmark will work with it.

    Can you peek inside the fo file to see if the outer fo:block that starts the
    section has the property? The outer fo:block has the id property for the
    section too, so it should look like this:

    <fo:block id="mysectionid" break-before="page">

    If the break-before property is there, then there is a problem with XEP. If
    the property is not there, then something is going wrong with your
    stylesheet customization.
