I agree that we should treat the two equally. So, we can either:
(a) clip all column rules at the content edge
(b) don't clip rules
The current CR states that "the endpoints" of a column rule should be
"at opposing content edges of the multicol element". I.e., column
rules are clipped. If we go with (a) I suggest we change this to:
A column rule is drawn in the middle of the column gap with the
endpoints at opposing content edges of the multicol element. Column
rules are clipped at the content edges.
If we go with (b), I suggest, well, I don't suggest we do that.
Clipping makes more sense, no?
