The "soft page break" thing is also needed for DAISY export. Therefor, after investigating into Accessibility related things in ODF, optionally exporting soft page breaks is now defined in ODF 1.1.
See my OOo conference presentation http://marketing.openoffice.org/ooocon2006/presentations/wednesday_o4.pdf page 22 (ff). So ODF 1.1 is an OASIS standard now, and we started implementing the different things, but I can't promise which feature will make it into which release. For now, Ashok's recommendation below is a good work around.
