If the contents of the first page is always separate from the rest, why making
it belong to the same flow? Just set up a separate page sequence, consisting of
an only page, for the cover sheet. Note that in this case, you can cite the name
of the page master directly in the fo:page-sequence:


<!-- Keep the page sequence master simple -->
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="PageLayout">
  <fo:repeatable-page-master-reference master-name="rest"/>
</fo:page-sequence-master>

<!-- Make a separate sequence for the cover sheet -->
<fo:page-sequence master-name="first">
  <!-- cover sheet code as appropriate -->
</fo:page-sequence>

<!-- Make a separate sequence for the cover sheet -->
<fo:page-sequence master-name="PageLayout">
  <!-- rest of the code as appropriate -->
</fo:page-sequence>
