Interesting. According to the spec the "height" attribute doesn't apply to the fo:block FO. Specifying should not have any effect. Furthermore, height is a simple property (derived from CSS) and does not support subproperties like "minimum". If "minimum" (or a <length-range> for that matter) is to be used, you'd have to use the "block-progression-dimension" property (which doesn't apply to fo:block, either). So, if DocBook does that, it's non-standard and will not have any effect on most FO implementations. fo:block-container is the next best FO that supports block-progression-dimension.
I don't think there is any feature exactly like you want. The only thing I see you can do is have a keep-with-next on the section title and a keep-together on the first paragraph after a section title. Furthermore, settings widows and orphans right should also help.
