[xep-support] XEP bug concerning initial-page-number

Hello,

I think I may have found a bug in XEP. I want to create a document that 
has a cover page (without a page number), followed by numbered pages 
(starting with 1) for the main text. Therefore I use two page-sequences, 
the second one with initial-page-number="1". However this results in XEP 
creating an empty page between the cover and the main text. FOP doesn't
do this. Here's an example code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
  <fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="main" page-height="29.7cm" 
      page-width="21cm" margin-top="2cm" margin-right="3cm" 
      margin-bottom="3cm" margin-left="3cm">
      <fo:region-body margin-top="1cm" margin-bottom="1.5cm"/>
      <fo:region-after extent="1cm"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
  </fo:layout-master-set>

  <fo:page-sequence master-reference="main">
    <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
      <fo:block>Cover</fo:block>
    </fo:flow>
  </fo:page-sequence>

  <fo:page-sequence master-reference="main" initial-page-number="1">
    <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
      <fo:block text-align="center">
        <fo:page-number/>
      </fo:block>
    </fo:static-content>
    <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
      <fo:block>First page</fo:block>
    </fo:flow>
  </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

The resulting PDF has two pages when using FOP, but three pages
when using XEP. Is this an error in XEP? If yes, will it be fixed?

Thanks
Matthias
