You don't show the actual index key placements in your code, but my
gut feel is that you are doing everything right. If you hadn't
placed them correctly in your code, then they would not have been
retrieved into the index entry.

So I just created and tried the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?><!--raw.fo-->
<root xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
       font-family="Times" font-size="20pt">

   <layout-master-set>
     <simple-page-master master-name="frame"
                         page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm"
                         margin-top="15mm" margin-bottom="15mm"
                         margin-left="15mm" margin-right="15mm">
       <region-body region-name="frame-body"/>
     </simple-page-master>
   </layout-master-set>

   <page-sequence master-reference="frame">
     <flow flow-name="frame-body">
       <block>Page without an index entry</block>
       <block break-before="page" index-key="x">Page with an index
entry</block>
       <block break-before="page" index-key="x">Page with an index
entry</block>
       <block break-before="page" index-key="x">Page with an index
entry</block>
       <block break-before="page" index-key="x">Page with an index
entry</block>
       <block break-before="page">
         Index:
         <index-page-citation-list merge-sequential-page-numbers="merge">
           <index-key-reference ref-index-key="x"/>
         </index-page-citation-list>
       </block>
     </flow>
   </page-sequence>
</root>

And it doesn't work either, but I'm quite confident it should be working.

Looking at: http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#XslFoConformance I
do not see merge-sequential-page-numbers= on the unsupported list ...
so, yes, I think there is a problem with XEP in this area, and not your code.

I hope this helps.
