That's only for continuous media, I think. The inner multicol is kind of
in paged media, and my main point is that column-fill:auto is meaningful
here. column-fill:auto should only be dishonored if the column heights
are truly unconstrained (and even then it can be argued that it's a
dubious thing to do; you could still achieve interesting effects with
only explicit column breaks). At least that's how it is in my mind. :)
