But the split must not preserve it!
If I understand the code correctly, the split replaces the big flowable
by a list of (smaller) flowables.
The _postponed must be reset to 0.

There is still a risk when split() systematically returns a list
where the first argument is as high as the original flowable.
But there is no page break there.
