The problem here is that ruby can work as both an inline or block construct (or even as an inline-block construct).  A single display type, "ruby", is insufficient to model this.  The CSS3 Ruby draft has huge flaws, and if you're basing your HTML5 test suite off it, then you need to fix your test suite.

I think the HTML5 spec should be amended to drop all mention of unique Ruby display types until problems like this can be addressed.

The ruby-base and ruby-text display types are fine, but the Ruby display type needs to be broken into two display types.  We'd be willing to break the inline-block version of Ruby since it would rarely be desired, but I don't think we want positioning or floating a ruby to suddenly turn off its ruby behavior. Therefore block-level ruby has to be specifiable.
