Indeed, I had made some changes so the height is not taken directly from
the font (which tends to give the worst-case height over the whole
font), but is (supposed to be) based on the average of the height of each
displayed char.
The problem Tadziu describes seems to indicate that either my hack isn't
working any more, or that some other problem is at play (maybe the
height of each char is itself wrong?).

`bzr` itself has been moribund for quite some years now :-(
