Do you think they need to be?  I do see the flexbox editors have added something about it to their spec since I last read through it so maybe so.  Let me know what you think.

It was important for Flexbox because (1) abspos elements become
'block', which would have interfered with flexbox-item wrapping if it
wasn't otherwise specified, and (2) the static position was
non-obvious.

(1) doesn't apply to Grid, but for (2) it would be useful to have an
explicit statement that the placeholder is still affected by the grid
properties.
