Eu uso titlesec e titletoc para criar meu próprio estilo de capítulo que contém um minitoc após o título do capítulo. E eu uso epígrafe quando quero ter uma antes do título do capítulo.
Atualmente estou escrevendo um capítulo que contém várias seções, então o minitoc deve continuar na próxima página. Isto leva a uma impressão errada da epígrafe e as últimas seções não são impressas no exemplo a seguir:
\documentclass[11pt]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\newlength{\HeightBeforeChap}
\setlength{\HeightBeforeChap}{0pt}
% redefine chapter style
\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\filright}{}{0pt}
{\vspace*{\HeightBeforeChap} \\! \Huge \bfseries\raggedleft}
[\vspace*{4pc}%
\startcontents
{\raggedright\bfseries \large Mini ToC \endgraf}
\titlerule
\vspace{6pt}
\printcontents{p}{1}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}}
\vspace{6pt}
\titlerule
]
\usepackage{epigraph}
\renewcommand{\textflush}{flushepinormal}
\setlength\epigraphwidth{.55\textwidth}
\makeatletter
\@ifundefined{HeightBeforeChap}
{% \HeightBeforeChap not defined
}
{% \HeightBeforeChap defined
\renewcommand{\dropchapter}[1]{\setlength{\HeightBeforeChap}{#1} }
}%
\makeatother

Aqui estão os resultados que obtenho:
Graças à resposta deegrégia, acho que está relacionado ao encerramento da página necessária para imprimir a epígrafe, mas não tenho ideia de como resolver.
Obrigado pela ajuda.

Como não há um único comentário mesmo depois da recompensa que coloquei, encontro uma solução feia, esperando soluções melhores do SE.
O feio:
