We also had this problem with nroff.
Our solution: put a \& just before the .sp command.
(I seem to recall reading somewhere that nroff will ignore .sp commands
at the top of a page for a number of lines exceeding some number -- I
think it was 5 or 10. Anyway, I now can not of course find the quote.
But the tone, I recall, was as if this had been done on purpose ...)
Hope this helps.
(P.S. to Jeff Percival: we have been having trouble with our note
postings getting out -- if you see this, would you let me know via email?
Thanks.)
