I put up a patch that reimplements the pure-relevant distinction.  The goal 
would be to set all problematic grobs to #f.  This allows the current mechanism 
of articulating all unpure-pure relationships via containers rather than lists 
while at the same time avoiding the bug in 3385.  What would be more elegant is 
for all grobs to be pure relevant and for the height functions to not trigger 
unwanted side effects.  I feel this is a better alternative than reverting the 
patch.
