This is another issue that should be defined in css3-break. This situation
can occur with regions, overflow:fragments boxes or columns if we specify
an individual column selector.

Elika, Rossen - what do you think of this addition to CSS Fragmentation?
Perhaps somewhere in section 5.1?

---
  A fragmentation context may contain fragmentainers
  that contain no portion of the fragmented flow.
  This can occur if a fragmentainer has zero height,
  or its height is too small to contain the next
  monolithic element and the UA chooses to overflow
  the fragmentainer instead of slicing the element.
  In this case, the empty fragmentainer is completely
  ignored. Layout continues with the next fragmentainer
  as if the empty fragmentainer did not exist.

Thanks,
