I don't understand the logic of the \parshape's in the plain document below. The problem is the \parshape with \shapemode=2 (or 3) inside the \vbox. When the line with '% text' it commented out, it works as I would expect, but if I uncomment it, the following par with \parshape is shifted to the left (actually, the 'text' may go after the \parshape and the result is the same). What's wrong?
