Well, when I do an "unvbox" on the vtop which has the marks, it does work
(that is, the marks are visible on the page).
The problem though is that totally screws up the layout :(
I have two vtops, "engbox" and "hebbox", where "engbox" has the marks in it.
The layout:
\line{\box\engbox\kern\mykern\box\hebbox}
lays out just right; but this is very wrong:
\line{\vadjust{\unvbox\engbox}\kern\mykern\vadjust{\unvbox\hebbox}}
In this case, the 'hebbox' content appears one 'paragraph' below the 'engbox'
contents, rather than to the right as it does when using plain 'box'
So I'm now trying to 'unvbox' a copy of the 'engbox', but now I have extra
text (and 'lastbox' doesn't seem to remove it...)
But at least it's getting closer...
