It works in revisions 359477 and 360072, it does not work in the
latest revision, 360124. It works again if I change the expectation
from lineArea[2] to lineArea[1]. This may be a good sign. lineArea[1]
was an empty line caused by the mysterious line containing a glue and
a penalty. It seems like Andreas' changes have removed it, and that
may be a more correct result than the previous one.
But I am not happy with the way Andreas waives the failure. You should
have investigated it and corrected it. If the file failed for you from
the start, you should have reported it. Can you investigate whether it
is OK that the empty line has disappeared, and correct the
expectation?
