My expectation matches yours. The definition of 'conditionality' [1] is: Conditionality is an enumerated value which controls whether a space-specifier has effect at the beginning or end of a reference-area or a line-area. Possible values are retain and discard; a conditional space-specifier is one for which this value is discard. and column-areas are defined to be normal-flow-reference-areas [2]. As fo:region-body [1] is defined, even when there is only one column and no footnotes or floats, there is a region-reference-area containing a main-reference-area containing a span-reference-area containing a normal-flow-reference-area. When there's more than one column, the difference is supposed to be that there's just more normal-flow-reference-areas.
