Hmm, why can't you change
.vs 0
to
.vs \n[.V]
in your macro package? This
1) gives identical results with all groff versions
2) doesn't use an obscure feature of .vs which wasn't intuitive

It's exactly the opposite! The old versions converted `.vs 0'
silently to `.vs \n[.V]' -- it was simply not possible to completely
disable vertical movement with .vs.
