OK, I'm replying to my own question to add one further detail: I have now found
a minimal example that demonstrates the error with \writetolist: if you process
the following file with mkiv, a spurious vertical space is added before the
first line of text; everything works as expected in mkii. And the vertical
space in the bibliography (shown in the example below) is still unsolved. So
there definitely is a bug somewhere in mkiv.
