I think it's clear that according to the spec it should be rendered the way
Gecko and Webkit render it.

If you're suggesting that the spec should be changed --- this has been
specified and interoperably implemented in Gecko and Webkit for years, so I
think you'd need a pretty strong argument. Personally it feels unnatural to
me to render an element and its descendants as a single composition group
but carve out an exception for descendants that happen to be out-of-flow.
(Although I'm not actually sure what you're proposing, since there might be
descendants which are out-of-flow but still have the element as their
containing block ancestor.)

Also note that if the author really wants an out-of-flow element to be
composited seperately they can usually move it in the document outside of
the container with 'opacity' and give it its own 'opacity' to achieve that.
