Thanks for your help.  Also without \vadjust, the problem seems to be solved
putting \vtop inside \leftline:

\def\beginsection#1 {%
  \vskip0pt plus.3\vsize\vskip0pt plus-.3\vsize
  \bigskip\bigskip\vskip\parskip
  \leftline{#1
     \vtop to 0pt
     \bgroup
     \strut
     \vskip 2\baselineskip
     \vss
     \egroup
}}
