The W3C Recommendation states this is an overflow error condition and the
content exceeding the page length is discarded, not to be formatted. A
numeric value of keep is allowed to be broken by exceeding the length of
the page, any higher numeric values of keep will still try to be
respected. When the keep is broken it is flowed as if the keep were never
specified.

Can you get rid of the empty block? The keep-with-sibling properties have
effect on the immediately adjacent area.

The empty block is the kicker in this situation ... I think you'll have to
get rid of it. Is there a reason why it is there?
