Well, when rebreaking, I find that using \pagediscards seems like the
best thing to do.  Then you get the same vertical list again, unless
\outputpenalty is less than 10000, in which case you need to reinsert
it in front of the discards (it will be replaced with \nobreak in the
\pagediscards in this case).

Always a good idea.  You just have to place it in a manner that makes
sure it does not get discarded.
