In Opera's implementation, elements with 'column-span: all' create a
BFC as per:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#column-span
Therefore, floats are not allowed to enter a spanner in Opera's
implementation.
Spanners collapse vertically, just like these BFC-creating elements
do:
   <div style="overflow: hidden; margin: 100px 0;"></div> 
   <div style="overflow: hidden; margin: 100px 0;"></div>
As such, we think collapsing is a natural fallout from the current
spec. Therefore, I'm not sure we need to describe anonymous BFCs in
the spec.
If we decide to *not* collapse spanners, we need to change the spec,
though.
