The current spec text is "Similar to table cells, flexbox items respond specially to the ‘collapse’ value of the ‘visibility’ property. When a flexbox item is set to ‘visibility: collapse;’, the item does not generate a box at all (identical to setting ‘display: none;’)."

There's a bit of controversy over whether this is the right thing to do: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Oct/0136.html. If we could get away with changing visibility:collapse across the board without compat problems, that would clearly be best.
