This seems to be caused by the new <header> tag, which is currently
used in one MST file only. If the whole <header>...</header> element
is removed, the font is okay, though then the header is entirely
absent for this logical page. Replacing the whole element with just
  <header>Explanatory Notes</header>
doesn't suppress the anomaly; neither does surrounding it with
  <font size="-1">
  </font>
. But if I surround it with <p>...</p> as in the demonstrative patch
below, then the header appears on the first physical page only, but not
on any continuation page; that isn't what we actually want, and nesting
'p' tags is illegal, but such a patch may be temporarily useful for
testing, as an alternative to an assertion failure.
