Looking at the archives, you mention you're using 3.13. We're still on
2.78. That's probably the difference. In any case,
border-before-width.conditionality="retain" belongs in the stylesheets.

Setting border-before-width.conditionality="retain" works for me.

I didn't see any effect when I changed the conditionality to retain on
fo:table, so I added a top and bottom border to the row as a short-term
fix (see below).  There's a barely visible problem with this workaround
though: the side borders of the table extend a tiny bit above the top
border on the second and following pages. I haven't ever gotten back to
it to test the conditionality thing further and see if it was me or xep
doing something wrong. Perhaps I misunderstood what David T. was
suggesting?
