So perhaps you can reproduce this:
Having one of the line spacing patches applied, set the Malabar font and a certain line spacing.
Switch the Glo off and on.
The line spacing will then have become smaller - until you move some slider (font size/line spacing/margins), which restores your setting.
Yes it happens on my Glo too when I use Malabar. It also happens whether or not the line spacing patch is applied, although the small spacing that Malabar starts with after being powered on is different when the patch is not applied, it is still the wrong spacing compared to where the slider is positioned.

If it happens with Malabar then I guess it is possible it will happen with some other fonts too.

Edit: With the unpatched firmware, the line spacing after powering on seems to be set to 1.0, the same as what you get with the slider at the minimum position, so if you have the slider at minimum already then you will not notice any problem. To see the problem with the unpatched firmware: Select Malabar in an epub, move the line spacing slider a few positions to the right, close the book and power off. When the book is opened again the line spacing has gone back to the minimum but the slider hasn't changed.
