Well, the inevitable happened! After a couple of hours of
experimentation, I swallowed my pride and asked the list, and then
almost immediately found something that worked:
\paper {
last-bottom-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 12)
(minimum-distance .12)
(padding . 12)
(stretchability . 12))
}
Quite why it works is a profound mystery to me, but this code will be
surrounded with comments indicating that it is to be treated as a holy
relic...
Sorry to waste your time.
