These are FOP-specific questions. I am not knowledgeable about FOP, sorry ;-).
You may try to ask your questions in the FOP developer's list (see
http://xml.apache.org/mail). However, shooting at random, I suggest to specify
borders on individual cells, rather than on rows. Borders aren't inherited in
XSL FO, and rows generate no areas; therefore,  borders on rows make no sense.
Note also that a border specified on fo:table is recognized as the border around
the table as a whole: it does not affect single cells.

FOP is known to ignore incorrect output silently: if an expression produces no
warnings in FOP, it does not necessarily mean that it makes sense from FOP's
point of view ;-).

Cheers,
Nikolai
