If there is a solution I would love to hear it. What I've done is to
create a paragraph tag with a tiny font and no space above/below and
use that tag before or after the text inset to minimize the space
between it and the preceding/next paragraph. What will happen if you
don't do that is, for example, cross-references to a heading following
a text inset will always appear to be broken.

Try my suggestion even if you don't like it because it should work. If
there is a better answer let's hear it.
