Okay, the "before={\testpage[] ...} seems to solve my problems with the hanging empty text backgrounds. Thanks Aditya

I sometimes use \definetextbackground[....][before={\testpage[3], .. other options .. ] The \testpage[3] checks if there is enough space to put three lines, if not it issues a page break. In most cases this gets rid of the hanging empty text backgrounds at the bottom of a page. Aditya
