The latter, I hope!  Have you done anything about the min-leading:
characteristic?  With its default value of #f, "the line spacing shall
not be automatically adjusted to take into account the size of the
content of the lines" - hence the paragraph spacing of "Exactly".

So giving min-leading: _any_ value switches on auto-spacing, as well, of
course, as specifying a minimum line spacing.
