I think the top-margin should not be set to zero. However, if the columns
element does not have a border then the top margin should collapse with the
bottom margin of the content before the columns and be placed above the
entire column set. Gecko implements this, because it's important for pages
that need to be rendered both by browsers with column support and those
without. Consider
<style>.section { column-width:30em; }</style>
<div class="section">
   <p>A
   <p>B
</div>
Having the top-margin of <p> rendered in the first column is very ugly.
Better to move it up outside the columns.

In your testcase, the columns element has a border, so that the top-margin
of its children cannot collapse out. I think it should be rendered in the
first column rather than lost.

I think this is just a bug in our code.
