The basic problem is that FOP doesn't implement
keep-with-next except in tables.  That feature is still
labeled as 'broken' on the FOP Features webpage.  There is
a workaround published for figure and table titles in:

I don't know of anyone who has succeeded in something like
it for section titles, though.
