Removing the Geometry package + commands as configured made it go away, and eliminating  \linespread{1.2} did the same; this was the case if they were removed independently. (As I write this I see what I'm doing that could be screwing things up, here and in the italics cases: could it be that I'm making a mistake by using \setromanfont in the \memo command, and should instead use another command?)

Howdy,

Why do you continually reset the roman font? First the \setromanfont (or \setmainfont) should already set the italic to that italic font so \textit{...} will work out of the bag. If you need a special font use the \fontspec command to define it, don't set the roman font all over again.

Good Luck,
