If you're doing OMR marks with FOP 0.91 or 0.92, it is recommended that you use absolute-position="fixed" so you can specify absolute coordinates relative to the upper-left corner of the paper. Furthermore, your earlier example was missing the "left" property. Thus, I believe the two b-cs are painted on top of each other (like Joerg suggested), because the layout code doesn't handle your case correctly, yet (only using "width" and "right").
The "normal flow" comment may be based on a misunderstanding of your use case. Still, I'm not sure you'll be able to solve OMR marks like that. Back when I implemented it, I couldn't take that route.
