you mean if the paragraph is in a table then it should always have a
page break?

i'm sure i don't understand what you mean because that doesn't make sense :)

suspect the problem could be that paragraph attributes (including the
page break) are copied to the target paragraph; they should be copied
when the whole paragraph is copied but not if less than the whole
paragraph is selected.

the code for that is somewhere in sw/source/core/txtnode/, likely
SwTxtNode::CopyText

The breaks are represented in Writer as a pool item with id RES_BREAK
and class SvxFmtBreakItem (see include/editeng/formatbreakitem.hxx).

... which uses this enum from svxenum.hxx:

enum SvxBreak
{
    SVX_BREAK_NONE,
    SVX_BREAK_COLUMN_BEFORE,
    SVX_BREAK_COLUMN_AFTER,
    SVX_BREAK_COLUMN_BOTH,
    SVX_BREAK_PAGE_BEFORE,
    SVX_BREAK_PAGE_AFTER,
    SVX_BREAK_PAGE_BOTH,
    SVX_BREAK_END
};

the item exists in the SwAttrSet of the SwTxtNode... and it's mapped to
the UNO property "BreakType".
