Re: Continued page numbering in the frontmatter

This is unusual.  Does your customization layer have a template named 
'initial.page.number'?   If so, then that is likely the cause of the 
problem, because that template is used in each page-sequence to set the 
'initial-page-number' attribute on the page-sequence.  A value of "auto" 
continues from the previous page-sequence.  The original template is in 
fo/pagesetup.xsl.
