$offset-margin-left is "72pt"

Not a lot different than my guess at "78pt". The file below breaks as expected, not sharing the same baseline. I'm sure I've copied the information as you've documented.


How does it compare to your generated FO file? Have you tried copy and paste of the generated FO file into a standalone snippet and rendering that? That, too, would indicate ancestral inheritance issues.
