Okay, the "before={\testpage[] ...}  seems to solve my problems with the hanging empty text backgrounds.
Thanks Aditya

I sometimes use

\definetextbackground[....][before={\testpage[3], .. other options .. ]

The \testpage[3] checks if there is enough space to put three lines, if 
not it issues a page break. In most cases this gets rid of the hanging 
empty text backgrounds at the bottom of a page.
