The key is indeed that last sentence. If you follow the link to the
definition of "block formatting contexts" [1] you will see that this is much
different from "different container."

A different block formatting contexts is only established by:
"Floats, absolutely positioned elements, inline-blocks, table-cells, and
elements with 'overflow' other than 'visible'"

So a left-floated column and a float inside a following "main column" are in
the _same_ block formatting context,  unless the "main column" is floated
itself, or is A.P., or is inline-block, or ...
