The very latest svn code now takes account of the following ParagraphStyle values


backColor
borderWidth
borderColor
borderWidth
borderpadding
borderRadius

I tried these combos inside test_platypus_breaking.py


	bt1 = ParagraphStyle('bodyText1',bt)
	bt1.borderWidth = 0.5
	bt1.borderColor = colors.toColor('red')
	bt1.backColor = colors.pink
	bt1.borderRadius = 2
	bt1.borderPadding = 3
	a(Paragraph("""text one<br/>text two<br/>""",bt1))
	a(Paragraph("Border no &lt;nr/&gt; at the end of the paragraph!",h3))
	bt1 = ParagraphStyle('bodyText1',bt)
	bt1.borderWidth = 0.5
	bt1.borderColor = colors.toColor('red')
	bt1.backColor = colors.pink
	bt1.borderRadius = 2
	bt1.borderPadding = 3
	a(Paragraph("""text one<br/>text two""",bt1))
	a(Paragraph("Different border style!",h3))
	bt2 = ParagraphStyle('bodyText1',bt1)
	bt2.borderWidth = 1.5
	bt2.borderColor = colors.toColor('blue')
	bt2.backColor = colors.gray
	bt2.borderRadius = 3
	bt2.borderPadding = 3
	a(Paragraph("""text one<br/>text two<br/>""",bt2))


hope this works for you.
