Thank you, Victor, now I think I finally understand what you mean.
However, I see is that this could lead to very funny results. Imagine a
BC with BPD set, overflow=repeat and reference-orientation=180. When the
contents overflow the first VPA, a new one is created under the first
(in BC parent's BP direction), if there's enough room for a second VPA
on the same reference area. If you looked at the paper upside down after
printing, it would look like this (the number indicate the order of the
blocks inside the BC):

5
6
7
8
1
2
3
4

Just for the fun of it. :-) I know it's a bit exotic.

I don't quite see the use-cases for this whole thing yet. But for XSL
1.0 it essentially means that there's only one VPA if the BPD is set,
right? So the current implementation in FOP would be ok for now.
