By default, yes, but what about

div {
  display: flex;
  width: 50%; /* definite */
  flex-flow: column wrap-reverse;
}

?

I *think* it's weird in this case if the new flex line stacks up to the
direction where there's no space (left), but if that's the intention I
wouldn't say I couldn't live with it (honestly I don't know the use
cases of 'column wrap-reverse' anyway).

That's why I said

because my proposed behavior violates CSS 2.1. and, if accepted, it
needs to be specified somewhere.
