How are you running the report? Are you using the Web Viewer /frameset
option? In the group editor you can set page break after to always.
See attached example

If you are in the birt designer you have an option to view the report in
html or in the Web Viewer. The Web Viewer does HTML pagination. The
iew as HTML option does not.

That does look like a bug, but using the group editor should work. Can
you log a bugzilla entry for it? You can also put a page break after the
group footer that should accomplish the same thing.

Do you have the report design perspective open?
Look at the attached image.
