OK, I'm replying to my own question to add one further detail: I have now found a minimal example that demonstrates the error with \writetolist: if you process the following file with mkiv, a spurious vertical space is added before the first line of text; everything works as expected in mkii. And the vertical space in the bibliography (shown in the example below) is still unsolved. So there definitely is a bug somewhere in mkiv.

Hi all,
since a few betas ago, I'm experiencing the problem that some commands add unwanted vertical space in mkiv. I think this is the case with \writetolist, but I need to prepare an example for that. I have prepared an example for publication lists: the following code produces the expected output in mkii. In mkiv, it adds vertical space for every item that is added to the bibliography. Maybe some unescaped line-endings somewhere in the code?
All best
Thomas
