I just tried this: Redefining the dimensions in \strutbox in proportion to 
\baselineskip does fix this problem in a few tests. Define it (see
p. 353) to, e.g.
  \setbox\strutbox=\hbox{\vrule height17pt depth7pt width0pt}
when using \baselineskip=24pt. Just include this line after setting
\baselineskip.

Anyone know if this causes any other problems?
