I think the spec test in 7.20.3 is misleading if not wrong. As far as I understand reference-orientation, it applies only to formatting objects which generate viewport/reference pairs, not to those which only generate a reference area, even if the text says something else. Only viewports have the ability to establish a new coordinate system and that's also where the actual transformation due to the reference-orientation property happens.
Under http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#prapply: "Property reference-orientation applies to: fo:page-sequence, fo:simple-page-master, fo:region-body, fo:region-before, fo:region-after, fo:region-start, fo:region-end, fo:block-container, and fo:inline-container." I don't know if my interpretation is correct. You can try to get a confirmation from the XSL SG.
