Thanks.
The problem happens in a case where there are no paragraph split between 2 
pages. All pars are entirely either in page 1 or page 2 (these numbers are not 
actual page numbers, but it’s for clarity). 

I am trying to create a MWE but it’s not trivial. The situation as far as I 
understand it is like the following :

I’ve added tracers for vspacing.synchronizepage function.
When page 1 ships, there are 2 paragraphs (1 + 3 lines) still pending because 
they do not fit in page 1 so they will be shipped in page 2 (I think that what 
is in texlists.page_head variable). Hence tex.prevgraf which was 0 is set to 4 
(see this from traces in output log).

vspacing        > page 4, prevdepth 2.56577pt => 2.56577pt, prevgraf 0 => 4
vspacing        > list glue:topskip hlist:line penalty:userpenalty 
penalty:userpenalty glue:baselineskip hlist:line penalty:linebreakpenalty 
glue:baselineskip hlist:line penalty:linebreakpenalty glue:baselineskip 
hlist:line glue:userskip

Next paragraph after the 2 pending pars I refer to above has a non zero 
\hangindent and \hangafter (set to -1) and when it starts being processed (in 
horizontal mode) prevgraf is already 4 so I think this cancels out that hanging 
(that’s the effect I see in output, there is no indent in 1st line of 3rd par), 
as IIRC TEX considers par has already 4 lines but in actuality it has 0. If I 
read correctly the TeXBook, prevgraf value has some impact on \hangafter / 
\hangindent

The value of \prevgraf affects line breaking only when TEX
is dealing with nonstandard \parshape or \hangindent.

you cannot rely on prevgraf crossing pages (so you get e.g. 8 at the top 
of a page with 5 lines

where/how does it fail
