OK. That's helpful.
But notice that in the following example, the interline space that causes the problem is in the *first* section (where htdp is 12pt and baselineskip is also 12pt!), while the gap shows up in the *second* section, whose interlinespace is 2.8ex:
Columnsets are rather special and mostly meant for magazine like documents, where content can span columns, images are explicitly placed on the grid, etc. For that reason columnset soperate on a rather strict grid that gets setup based in the lineheight and although content can be larger, the grid dictates what happens. Balancing is semi automatic and nearly always demands some tweaks. Using columnsets for a large document that has to flow automatically is therefore debatable. Regular multi columns or in mkiv mixed-columns are a better choice then. You need to keep in mind that tex has no concept of columns so it is faked by using a virtual page nofcolumns * text height. Anyway, as columnsets are supposed to cooperate with grid mode, any messing with the lineheight will interfere. Normally a document has a consistent lineheight everywhere.
