Paragraphs within list item jutting into page footer

I had asked about this issue earlier, and thought I had found a solution, but unfortunately it's not working reliably.

On occasion, PDF pages do not break correctly within a list item. If the list item contains more than one paragraph, then the paragraphs can bleed into the page footer.

I had come across the dbfo-need option, which sometimes works, but not always.

The attached image shows an example of this happening.

Here is the source DocBook XML for the same excerpt.

<listitem>
<para>To use a column to add a new field to the source data, in the dropdown
list field, type the name of the new field, then press
<keycap>Enter</keycap>.</para>
<informalfigure>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata scale="100"
fileref="../img/ui_data_source_job_csv_new_field.png"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Entering a new source field name for a CSV
column</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</informalfigure>
<para>For information on restrictions on field names, see <xref
linkend="sqrrl-field-name-restrictions"/>.</para>
<para>For these new fields, Sqrrl infers the data type based on the values
in the file.</para>
<?dbfo-need height="2in" ?>
<para>These new fields are not added to the source definition.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>To remove a column from the list, click its delete icon.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist></para>

So while I have the dbfo-need option set for the paragraph, it's still not causing the page to break.

Any ideas to get this to work reliably?

Thanks,

Janice
