See the reply to Paul: I am still interested in a solution without an

The only way to get stuff to the pdf is via a box register (unless you count
creating the low-level pdf code for the page stream yourself via pdf literals,
but I assume that is not what you had in mind). That's just how it is. If you
want to hide this effect, write a two-line function based on Luigi's code.
I suppose Patrick wants to retrieve the contents of the MVL. This does it:
local p1 = node.copy_list(tex.lists.page_head)
local p2 = node.copy_list(tex.lists.contrib_head)
node.insert_after(p1, node.tail(p1), p2)
tex.box[0].head = p1
tex.lists.page_head = nil
tex.lists.contrib_head = nil
tex.shipout(0)
Well, it seems to work, but something tells me it is a very bad idea.
Not the kind of thing I'd rely on until I've had a better understanding
of the page_head/contrib_head interaction, at least.
Best,
Paul
