Ah, right, align-content happens to not have an effect, because the
abspos is treated as being the only flex item, so the flexbox is
single-line for these purposes, and the flex line is stretched to the
size of the flexbox (so there's no free space to align the flex line
with).

So yeah, in effect, the static pos of an abspos child of a flexbox is
determined by the combination of justify-content and align-self/items,
aligning into the flexbox's content box.  Which feels crazy, but it's
precisely what an actual lone flex item would use, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?
