What is the behavior that you expect instead?  Should it introduce float
pages as soon as it encounters the more-than-one-page float?  Or should
it rather wait until there's additional floating material to fill the
second float page to at least n%?

Hm, maybe this isn't so unrealistic, at least in the sense of "we are
able to write down specifications for multi-page floats".
