In order to complete previous answers:

p[pgbreak]/node()[not(following-sibling::pgbreak)]

selects all nodes of paragraphs with at least one page break before
the first break, considered that pgbreak elements are only immediate
children of p elements.

Use p[descendant::pgbreak]/node()[not(following-sibling::*[descendant-or-self::pgbreak])]

if pgbreak elements can be buried deeper in the hierarchy.
