I can reproduce this in my linux trunk biuld.  Looking at the source, it looks like the key is that *everything* in the testcase is absolutely positioned, e.g.:

> <div style="position:absolute;top:50cm">
[... content ...]
> <div style="position:absolute;top:50.5cm">
[... content ...]
> <div style="position:absolute;top:51cm">

We have known issues with absolutely-positioned content beyond the first page.  This looks basically like a dupe of bug 164093 (at least, the testcases are pretty similar -- with large 'top' values -- and the symptoms are the same).
