It's worse than that.  The link from the table of contents
to the sections also land on the previous page.  That method
of doing the page breaks is not good.  It is putting
the break-before="page" property in a block nested in the
block that contains the section's id.  So the id is output,
then page breaks, leaving links to that page landing on
the previous page.

I need to figure out a better way to do section page breaks.
