Confirmed: this does not play nicely with geometry. It's like the
package shifts things away from where tikz expects the text to be. As
I narrow the margins more and more, the lines that used to underline
the text stay the same length and just get farther and farther away
from actually underlining the text. Perhaps I'll just stick to inline
notes unless there's some way to tell todonotes the margin size?
