Correct, I'm going to file a bug report.  If fixed line spacing is supposed to align characters on each line to their respective baselines, then it's not working when there's a font size difference of more then about 3 pts.  The text wraps and that sucks.  Furthermore, when using Align to Baseline Grid, the text correctly aligns to the baseline, but then the line spacing cannot be adjusted, and worse, the text doesn't move with the text frame!  So, as an immediate workaround, I need to create a separate text frame for the larger text, introduce whitespace in the smaller size frame, and overlay the two frames.  Silly.
