(Get the code!)
Yup, it would appear to be the same as Bug 287642; although it has nothing to do with the actual setting of overflow to hidden. There is a MAJOR problem with overflow for all settings.
As clip is only possible with overflow, it is hard to test without correct overflow performance. However, the good news is firefox doesnt seem to try to do anything with clip without overflow.
Problems for each overflow setting (during PRINT only) are as follows:
overflow: auto | hidden | scroll
clipping occurs at page boundary (with or without any clip being set!)
overflow: inherit | visible
background is extended to and clipped at penultimate page boundary regardless of height settings unless height is beyond penultimate page boundary. text flow appears to correctly continue to full extent of bounding box.
can attach examples if necessary. this is a SERIOUS problem with the print layout engine. overflow evidently needs a complete overhaul. this is in addition to all the positioning problems that the print engine has.

incidentally i just noticed that overflow is a vertical layout property only - will have to check the W3w specs again as its a long time since i have done so, but though this was an interesting concept/design decision.
