I’ve never used the minimal-breaking algorithm, so this is of limited 
value, but: The default algorithm handles systems-per-page with some 
flexibility, so e.g.
  system-count = 15
  systems-per-page = 4
will likely result in one page having only 3 systems without any warning 
given.
However, page-count has always been strictly obeyed in my scores, so at 
least that would qualify as a bug, I think.

I take it that creating a minimal example will be very difficult?
