That's a fair point. In general, it should be possible to specify any
declarations on columns/regions. E.g.:

  article::region(1) {
    display: flexbox;
  }

But not all combinations make sense. 

Could you describe a use case where you'd want to combine
regions/exclusions with flexbox?

Something weird happened when I checked in a new version from a
