Wouldn't you know it, the size problem goes away when I strip everything
down to a minimal example...  Murphy hard at work.

I'll try to figure out where the problem lies.  We all know Knuth's stuff is
bug-free (TM).

However, the vertical positioning still seems to be off by about the height
of a lower case letter.  Baseline vs. character center.
