I mean the effect of an oblique light source above the page, which may make the image more dark on one side than the other. Not just the ink but everything.

Wow that is truly amazing, I get it! And I think it also supports my theory when I say it is 3d. What I feel you are showing is the reflection in the text. We are seeing gradient, reflection, shadow highlight kind of effect in 2d with your technique...
I assume this is not a common thing in manuscripts, on the text, or is it?
This is what I think. The manuscript has multiple layers of ciphers. One of the layers, ( just regarding text, not illustrations ) are each word = a letter or number. Then, there is the part where some paragraphs turn into figures maybe when the page's ink has dissolved and dried up.. then what you are showing would make sense in creating a 3d figure including the shadow, highlight, reflection etc..that's why we see a gradient.
Folio 76v is a great example. I will demonstrate exactly what I mean on folio 76v shortly, this is a very interesting page...
