personal response but the spec says

 > the first row of carries annotates the second (following) row as if
the second row had location="n".

so the position of the 1 isn't affected by the fact that the 2 has
location=s, it is positioned as if the 2 had location=n so just above
where that would have been.

But it goes on to say

 > This means that the second row, even if it does not draw, visually
uses some (undefined by this specification) amount of space when displayed.

so the exact amount of space below the 1 is implementation defined.
