One more thing: the behavior is erratic. I am working on a file now
in which the phenomenon appears in some parts and not in others. I
can't figure it out.

Subject: [Finale] 2k8 page layout bug
There is a bug in the 2008 page format for parts dialog. If you
define a staff reduction (I use 88%) and then set a distance
between staves for parts, each part in succession has that distance
further reduced. The placement for the top staff remains correct.
Only the between staff distance is irrationally changed. This is
an annoyance rather than a work stopper, because the distances can
be re-set once the parts are opened. Still, it's a bug, and I
don't understand what has been introduced in 2008 that might have
created this new and annoying behavior. I don't remember
encountering it in 2007.
MM support has acknowledged seeing this in files I have sent them.
What I have yet to determine is whether or not this appears in
documents created wholly in 2008. At the moment, I only know that
I have seen it in documents converted from files created in earlier
versions.
