You haven't goofed up ... it is a restriction of the current implementation
and semantics. It's working as currently defined.
It sounds like a new semantic is needed inside the psmi:page-sequence, that
being something like a psmi:master-reference-following="" that indicates
which page-sequence master to use following the breakup of a
page-sequence. Then, your XSLT can choose when injecting the
psmi:page-sequence whether a different sequence is needed until the next
injection or the end of the wrapping page-sequence.
I'm thinking that master-reference="" stays as it is, unprefixed, to map to
the equivalent in XSL-FO. By naming this
psmi:master-reference-following="" then I don't risk any future confusion
with page-sequence attributes defined by XSL-FO, and I don't make any claim
that master-reference-following= is any kind of equivalent to an XSL-FO
property (as I do with the unprefixed properties today).
Let me see when I can get to this ... I've got a lot on my plate right
now. I think it is a meaningful improvement to the facility.
Thanks for describing your situation!
