i posted a fix for that:

\def\endmulticolumns
  {%\par
   \vskip\lineheight\vskip-\lineheight % take footnotes into account
   \dontshowcomposition
   \doflushcolumnfloat  % added recently
  %\doflushcolumnfloats % no, since it results in wrong top floats
   \flushnotes          % before start of columns
   \par
   \ifbalancecolumns
     \global\output{\continuousmulticolumnsout}%
     \goodbreak
     \global\output{\balancedmulticolumnsout}%
   \else
     \goodbreak
   \fi
   \eject               % the prevdepth is important, try e.g. toclist in
   \prevdepth\zeropoint % columns before some noncolumned text text
   \global\output\singlecolumnout
   \global\output{\the\mainoutput}% % % % % todo
   \ifvoid\precolumnbox\else
     \unvbox\precolumnbox
   \fi
   \global\precolumnboxheight\zeropoint
   \endgroup % here
   \nofcolumns\plusone
   \setvsize % the outer one!
   \synchronizeoutput % new may 2004 / we need to: \pagegoal\vsize
   \checkendcolumnfootnotes
   \dosomebreak\allowbreak
   \restoresavedfloats}

this should go into cont=new.tex
