[Moving to docbook-apps, which is the appropriate list for stylesheet
issues]

It's hard to be sure, but it might be enough to add a processing
instruction, as follows:

 <example>
  <?dbfo keep-together="auto"?>
   <title>MXML Example 2</title>
   <programlisting ><textobject><textdata 
   entityref="white-board.mxml"/></textobject></programlisting>
 </example>
