Either your MWE failed to isolate the root cause, or there are two
(probably clashing or interacting) root causes and you only got one of
them. 

Just start with a copy of the whole document and subtract little by
little until something you subtract causes the symptom to disappear.
Then put that piece back in and leave that piece permanently in and
subtract other things little by little until the symptom again toggles,
and once again put it back in permanently. Continue until there's
nothing left to subtract.

HTH,
