top-margin is the spacing from the edge of the paper to the inside of 
the margin.  top-markup-spacing is the spacing from the margin to the 
first markup/text on the page.  (See also top-system-spacing.)  As it 
is, you are leaving some spacing variables set to default values which 
could have changed between versions, resulting in different behavior.

You might want to utilize annotate-spacing as well, as it might help 
visualize where spacing occurs.
