Depending on referecence-orientation value, you should explicitely give
either i-p-d (your case) or b-p-d, like in following snippet:
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="0">
<fo:block>content</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90"
inline-progression-dimension.minimum="5mm"
inline-progression-dimension.optimum="30mm"
inline-progression-dimension.maximum="auto">
<fo:block>content</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="180"
block-progression-dimension="inherited-property-value(line-height)">
<fo:block>content</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="270"
inline-progression-dimension="25mm">
<fo:block>content</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
