This needs not be related, but it sometimes leads to similar problems, and
I haven't seen an explanation anywhere: why is \addvspace discontinuous? If
  SKIP < \lastskip < 0
then the net effect of \addvspace{SKIP} is to do nothing, but if
  SKIP < 0 <= \lastskip
then the net effect of \addvspace{SKIP} is that SKIP is added to the
current vertical list (thus moving everything up).
