Also some publishers (such as Baen) add a tiny spacing between paragraphs, just a few pixels, but these add up and can be enough to push the last line off the page if there are a lot of paragraphs on the page.
This is probably it. But, you forgot the chapter title. The size of it and the margins above and below it will usually mean the last line on the screen isn't in the same place as on the second page. It is probably better to look at if the second, third and later pages are the same. If they don't have any of the things you suggested or a gap in the text caused by a scene break, they should have the same number of lines.
