The paper size for "letter" is set correctly
as 8.5 inches x 11.0 inches in scm/paper.scm, 
which converts to 215.9 mm x 279.4 mm, so the 
default should be the same as your override,
unless there is some conversion problem when
the paper size is specified in inches.  Is
your problem also resolved when you specify
paper-height in inches?
