Notice that <fo:leader ...> won't work as expected due to the absence of a
leader-length and/or a leader-alignment attribute. (I think in the snippet
in your original post, it would yield a single space...)

What is happening due to the text-align-last attribute, is that all space on
the line is stretched so that all the contents of the fo:block take up a
full 'line'... Any fo:inline added will decrease the intermediate space.

I think, for your purpose, a small fo:table would be best suited

<fo:table table-layout="fixed" >
  <fo:table-column column-width="..." />
  <fo:table-column column-width="..." />
  <fo:table-column column-width="..." />
  <fo:table-body>
    <fo:table-row>
      <fo:table-cell>
        <fo:block text-align="start">CompanyName</fo:block>
      </fo:table-cell>
      <fo:table-cell>
        <fo:block text-align="center">Hmmm</fo:block>
      </fo:table-cell>
      <fo:table-cell>
        <fo:block text-align="end">Page <fo:page-number /></fo:block>
      </fo:table-cell>
    </fo:table-row>
  </fo:table-body>
</fo:table>


Hope this helps!

Greetz,

Andreas
