That's because of the penalty for pages ending with a hyphen. At the
page size of an ebook, you are better off with

   \brokenpenalty \zerocount

   \def\fakepar{\begingroup\parskip0pt\par\dogotopar{\indent\endgroup}}

and then

    Dans l’arrière pays.\fakepar

    Une horloge ...

does what you want, but it doesn't deserve a price for elegance either.
