(Clearly?)
The answer is actually yes. In the case above, you get pseudo markup
equivalent to:
<p>
<p:before>
<anonymous-inline>Note: </anonymous-inline>
</p:before>
<anonymous-block>
<anonymous-inline>....</anonymous-inline>
</anonymous-block>
</p>
Thus the border surrounds the :before as well as the element's 'real'
content.
