Rotated text in table header misbehaving

I have certain table cells in which I am rotating the text with reference-orientation="-90".  In most cases this is working fine, but with a long piece of text with several small words, the text is breaking after every word, and the text disappears out the righthand side of the cell.  

Following are the table-row element and the table-cell element for the problem cell:

<fo:table-row block-progression-dimension="1.8in" id="" keep-together.within-page="always"
keep-with-following.within-page="always">
   <fo:table-cell background-color="rgb(0,0,100)" border="solid" border-top-color="black"
       border-top-style="solid" border-top-width="1pt" id="" margin-left="1pt" text-align="from-table-column()">
       <fo:block-container reference-orientation="-90">
             <fo:block color="white" display-align="after" font-weight="bold" margin="1pt 1pt 1pt 1pt">
                   <fo:block id="d1e26124" space-after="0.6em" space-after.optimum="3pt" space-before="0.6em" text-indent="0em">AUTH (includes ZDA) SALE, DEBIT </fo:block>
             </fo:block>
      </fo:block-container>
   </fo:table-cell>

The 1.8in for the block-progression-dimension appears to be plenty for the text to appear in a maximum of two lines, but the line is breaking after every word, resulting in 5 lines.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,
David
