Your examples follow the old version of XSL Working Draft (namely, that of April
21, 1999). At that time, what you are asking for was impossible.

The current version of XSL FO (Candidate Recommendation of November 21, 2000)
has means to switch headers put on different pages - you can give custom names
to regions, and than specify these names in flow-name property of a
fo:static-content element (see code below).

Most XSL FO formatters now support the Candidate Recommendation. Which one are
you using? Probably, it needs upgrading. By the way: we have a stylesheet to
convert Apr'99 XSLFO files to XSL CR (available from
http://www.renderx.com/Tests/validator/FO99to00.xsl; also part of XEP2.01 eval
version distribution).
