Bob,
Thanks for the quick reply.
From what you said it seemed
that the simplest thing was to make this an article and not a book. Alas, that
seems to have some interaction with the custom page masters I set up to have a
background graphic in the footers, which is another new thing I’m trying
to do. While the root element was book, it seemed to work (except for there
being no footer image on the last page, for some reason). When I changed it to
article, fop generates an error that says
2:39773 page-sequence must be
child of root, not fo:flow
and so I get no PDF at all. Any idea
why that doesn’t occur when the root is book but does when it’s
article?

Yes,
a chapter element generates a page-sequence in FO output, and a page sequence
always starts on a new page. If you want to use book and chapter, you'll
need to customize both templates so that book generates a page-sequence for all
your content, and chapter does not. Or you might just use article, if
that suffices for your needs. An article is a single page-sequence.
