I do or have occasionally. No idea about the problem but those mystery
problems, version differences and no progress sadly make it really
hard to seriously use roff.

For what it's worth, the Heirloom Troff distribution
tools format this with both +'s at exactly the same
level. Perhaps it is the better font support in troff
or perhaps it is due to eqn fixes.

eqn has never been good at the precise layout
of large equations. it's great that they look as
good as they do.

more precisely, nobody uses eqn these days
who is picky enough about where the + goes
to take the time to fix it.

I use it occasionally, I just don't know
how to help you with your problem.
