The MWE below, after compiling with pdflatex mwe.tex && bibtex mwe.aux && pdflatex mwe.tex
generates a PDF with 3 pages. 1. the sigh frame, 2. the first of two bibliography frames, and finally a contentless "Bibliography II" frame (i.e. empty page/empty frame).
I am aware that allowframebreaks
is a terrible idea for actual content and might have is flaws but in this case I'd like to use it nevertheless. What's the reason for the empty frame and how to avoid it (apart from changing the content of the bibliography of course ;)?

I forgot to mention that I tried playing with the factor of allowframebreaks
and this can be more or less used as a workaround but since it has to be customized for each case I'd still like to know what triggers it and if a fix is feasible.
I really hope this is not as embarrassing as the previous version of this question (not mine! ;)
