Are you sure you don't have Baseline Synchronization or Feather turned
on (in Format > Page Layout > Line Layout)? I've never used those
features (or Balance Columns in Column Layout), so I'm guessing -- but
they're my primary suspects (actually, my only suspects) for causing
variable vertical spacing. And they'd be imported with the Document
Properties (an unfortunate grab-bag of settings, IMHO). 

HTH!
