Yes, my default font setup sometimes seems to play havoc with me.
It turns automagically into lm.

As for the above problem, my brains were a bit rusty I think.
Just a leavevmode did the trick:

\startframedtext[middle][width=fit]
\leavevmode % <= the solution
\null\quad\type{with leavevmode: no more extra vertical space}\quad 
\null\crlf
\null\quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null
\stopframedtext
