I did manage to get very close by adding an empty block in the AAA
cell after the main block, and specifying some forced space-before

there is more 'content' in that cell, and allows more lines from the
first column to appear on the first page.
Come to think of it: this approach could solve the problem with using
just one fo:table-row as well. The only thing to remember there, is to
also set space-before.conditionality to retain. Since the page-break
happens within the confines of the table-cell, there is no fence
between the empty block, and the following one, so this would result
in the space being discarded.
So, to summarize the proposed workaround/FO hack, in the original
sample, you would only need to add something like:
... This text should be on the first page.</fo:block>
<fo:block space-before.optimum="5cm"
space-before.precedence="force"
space-before.conditionality="retain" />
And probably also between the second and third pages, to make sure all
of the remaining content in the first column ends up on the second page.
HTH!
