On the bottom of the scan you can see the second half of a footnote. That footnote begins at the previous page : http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Robert_the_Bruce_and_the_struggle_for_Sco...
This seems like a very weird way to do things. Why is the book being split up by page to begin with? For optimal reading, you should put a lot more than one book-page's worth of content on each web page. It's hard to say what an appropriate fix is if I don't know why this is being done to begin with.
Is the idea is that the pages should later be transcluded into one big page, and they're only temporarily on separate pages for proofreading purposes? If so, why not just have the extension that displays the wikitext and Djvu pages side-by-side (ProofreadPage?) display a bunch of pages at once? You could then put all indivisible content on the page where it begins, so put the full ref text on the first page. And likewise you could put a word that's hyphenated across pages on the page where it begins. If you can see multiple pages at once, this isn't much harder to proofread, since you can just look down a bit.
