First, the specification of writing-mode on fo:region-* elements has no affect, unless use is made of the from-page-master-region() property value function [1]. However, this property value function is not yet supported in FOP. Work is underway to support it, but has not been committed yet. See [2] for tracking.
Second, there is a bug in that writing-mode on fo:simple-page-master is not being used to determine the layout of region viewport/reference pairs within the page. See [3] for tracking.
