I think this analysis is incorrect in that I think
column-spanning blocks do establish reference areas.

If am reading the spec correctly, each block with
span="all" in a multi-column flow creates a new "span
reference area":

I think this is pretty clearly establishing that each
column-spanning block establishes a new span reference
area.
