Bug Tracker 
I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Description
\glsadd doesn't add any text at that point in the document as advertised, but it can add a possible page break, still altering the output. This happens whenever I use vertical space that cannot be broken across pages, followed by \glsadd (which is still in vertical mode), followed by the start of the next paragraph. Somehow \glsadd in vertical mode must add either an empty box followed by glue or a penalty larger than -10000.

% This is a minimal file for testing and debugging
% the glossaries package. Change the class file as
% desired, and add the relevant package options to
% both the class file and the glossaries package.
% Change the sample glossary entry and acronym if
% required. If the problem occurs with an additional
% glossary, add in the relevant \newglossary command
% and a sample entry.

% Only add extra packages or commands if they

People eat \gls{bread}. Danish peaple are like ordinary people, so they eat danish bread.
Danish bread is also called \gls{brod}.

We need some glue on this page. It's rather stretchable glue, to demonstrate what is going wrong. The
goal is to fill the page to the end, where we will quote a letter.
\vspace{7cm plus 1cm minus 1cm}
We have come close to the bottom of the page now, so it's time to quote the letter.

\nobreak%

%Remove both \glsadd commands and a page break here will be properly prevented
%What also works is putting \indent or \noindent in front of \glsadd to move it into the horizontal
%material of the paragraph, instead of in the vertical material just before it.
\glsadd[format=(]{bread}%
The bread delivered today was again old and moldy. This has happened on previous occasions zeven times
in the past month. Therefore I wish to terminate my contract for daily deliveries of bread. I hope to
have you informed adequately in this letter.\glsadd[format=)]{bread}
