Good.

You haven't goofed up ... it is a restriction of the current implementation 
and semantics.  It's working as currently defined.

It sounds like a new semantic is needed inside the psmi:page-sequence, that 
being something like a psmi:master-reference-following="" that indicates 
which page-sequence master to use following the breakup of a 
page-sequence.  Then, your XSLT can choose when injecting the 
psmi:page-sequence whether a different sequence is needed until the next 
injection or the end of the wrapping page-sequence.

I'm thinking that master-reference="" stays as it is, unprefixed, to map to 
the equivalent in XSL-FO.  By naming this 
psmi:master-reference-following="" then I don't risk any future confusion 
with page-sequence attributes defined by XSL-FO, and I don't make any claim 
that master-reference-following= is any kind of equivalent to an XSL-FO 
property (as I do with the unprefixed properties today).

Let me see when I can get to this ... I've got a lot on my plate right 
now.  I think it is a meaningful improvement to the facility.

Thanks for describing your situation!
