I see now that I incorrectly implemented the spec as written.
However... this seems like a really confusing inconsistency. Why
should break-after: always force a flex line break on screen for
columns but not for rows?

If you do want to keep this I'm not sure that row vs column is the
right distinction. Shouldn't it be horizontal vs vertical, e.g. a
column flexbox in vertical-lr text.
