Interesting. At the top of the page prevdepth = .12pt in pos fonts
[probably delta topskip/strutheight or so]. 

In main-001.tex you may change (search for \ifblankforceer): 

       \ifblankoforceer
         % -1000pt signals top of page or column (\ejectcolumn)
         \vbox{\strut}\kern-\lineheight
       \fi

Since [given its usage] no additional testing is needed.
