The behaviour you witness is the behaviour described by the 
Recommendation.  Columns are balanced before an area with span="all" 
because of the underlying structure of nested areas 
(main-reference-area/span-reference-area/normal-flow-reference-area).

It is not a "problem", it is an issue of what is specified.  What did you 
read in the Recommendation to indicate that it was a problem of implementation?

If you wish to request new functionality in the Recommendation write to 
xsl-editors@w3.org to plead your case with real-world requirements they can 
consider for a future version.
