The concept of "blankness" is only true for pages
that are forced blank and have no content
whatsoever (not even an empty block) on the page.

It is not triggered by a page with content whose
content does not turn on any dots on the page.

It would seem to me that the page you are seeing
without any dots turned on is not a blank page
from an XSL-FO perspective in that it probably
has at least an empty block on it.  If you can
determine what is triggering the empty content on
the page (which makes the page not blank), that may solve your problem.

I hope this helps.
