mpdf dynamic HTML headers not appearing after auto page-breaks

I have a dynamically generated report PDF using mpdf, with HTML headers that are changed dynamically throughout the document. This works for all pages where I manually insert a page break and set new headers, but where the page break is caused by content overflowing the page the headers don't appear and I'm left with a blank space.

I'm using html tags to set the headers when they're updated:

<sethtmlpageheader name="page_header_<?=$profile_name ?>" value="on" show-this-page="1" />

I've tried changing this (e.g. adding a page="all" attribute) but it only makes the problem worse rather than better, in fact most of the possible solutions I've tried have caused more issues than they've fixed.

Following code worked for me (after removing the show-this-page="1" attribute of the sethtmlpageheader tag) (it is a snippet from the twig template (the category variable is passed to the template from the parent one), but I guess it should work the same in other templating engines or vanilla html too):

{% set htmlPageHeaderName = "product-list-header-" ~ category.guid %}
<htmlpageheader name="{{ htmlPageHeaderName }}"> {# mPdf reserved tag #}
    <div class="product-list-header">
        <b>{{ macros.categoryHeadingWithParentsToLvl(category, "div", 0) }}</b></div>
</htmlpageheader>

<htmlpagefooter name="product-list-footer"> {# mPdf reserved tag #}
    <div class="product-list-footer">
        tel: <b>123 456 789</b>, fax: <b>123 456 788</b>, e-mail: <b>[email protected]</b>, web:<b>http://www.www.ww</b>
    </div>
    <div class="page-no">{PAGENO}</div>
</htmlpagefooter>

<sethtmlpageheader name="{{ htmlPageHeaderName }}" page="all" value="1" /> {# mPdf reserved tag #}

<sethtmlpagefooter name="product-list-footer" page="all" value="1"/> {# mPdf reserved tag #}
<columns column-count="2" valign="justify" column-gap="8"> {# mPdf reserved tag #}
    {% set categoryParents = category.parentsToLvl(1) %}
    {{ macros.categoryHeadingWithParentsToLvl(category, "h2", 1) }}
    <div class="productsList">
        {% for producerName, productsByEdition in productsByCategoryProducerEdition %}
            <div class="producerDiv">
                <h3>{{ producerName }}</h3>
                {% for editionName, products in productsByEdition %}
                    <div class="editionDiv">
    ...
