I don't think it's useful to generalize beyond regions. All other pagination models are allowed to implicitly create more "regions" to accommodate overflowing content, so this situation just doesn't occur in multi-column layout or printing. Only regions have a concept of "this is the last region and there are no more pages available to put stuff in."

I guess viewed in that light, leaving the spec as is will probably be fine.
