:-). This is one of the most obscure features of XSL-FO. Don't worry,
very few people get it right from the spec - others fall into the trap.

The thing has to do with the default value of 'force-page-count' attribute.
Its "auto" value is defined so that it tries to match the parity of the last
page in the sequence with the initial page number of the next page sequence.
If your next sequence has an initial-page-number attribute set to an odd
number (probably 1, right?) than the previous sequence should be padded
with a blank page to make it terminate on an even page. If your 
page-sequence-master for the first sequence does not define a suitable
page master (e.g. only defines a single occurrence), you get 
a NoPageMasterException.

Remedy: add force-page-count="no-force" on the first sequence. This
turns off sequence padding.
