Indeed it does. Can you provide a test document?

| <xsl:template match="refentry">

|  <xsl:choose>
|     <xsl:when test="not(parent::*) or parent::reference">

|       <fo:page-sequence hyphenate="{$hyphenate}"

Nope, that's not the bug. If you look in the template for reference,
you'll see that it processes refentrys outside of its page-sequence.
It does this so that the partintro and titlepage elements come out
correctly.

                                        Be seeing you,
