I suspect (I haven't tested yet) that even if I don't specify line height I am still going to have the same problem on the Kindle for ios - ie. lines within some paragraphs will have a smaller line height than other lines in the same paragraph when a span tag extends at least the full length of a line (containing a quote with a smaller font size), so the line height for that line is being calculated as less. This means I will still have varying line height across lines in a single parapgraph which is not so pretty : )
You definitely should be using line height to fix that. However, it sounds like you're inadvertently setting it to less than 1.2x the (probably incorrectly) computed line height for one of the fonts. Try a larger value and see if the problem goes away.
