So, you are saying the the spec shoul not use terms like "not being
affected", but rather about what the behavior should be? That makes sense.

How about:

    "When the multi-column element is paginated, this last row of
    columns are formatted according to the computed value of this
    property; other columns are formatted as if 'column-fill:
    auto' had been set."
