How to preserve parskip in vsplit?

If I box something with non-zero parskip and split it using vsplit, the resulting split box will have the exact requested height. This is ususally more than I want, so I unvbox the split box and re-vbox it immediately to remove superfluous whitespace on the bottom. This approach usually works, unless you have non-zero parskip and your split point is in between paragraphs. Consider the MWE:



parskip=7pt

setbox0=vbox{input knuthpar}

splittopskip=0pt
setbox1=vsplit 0 to 2baselineskip
setbox1=vbox{unvbox1}
ifdimdp1<dpstrutbox
dp1=dpstrutbox
fi

box1
box0

bye


As you can see in the output, the parskip is missing between the first two paragraphs, because that is where the split was taken.

Is there a way to detect whether the last item of the split box would be parskip? LuaTeX solutions are also welcome.
