I never thought of using example/glosses that way. As Richard already said, 
it's the way glosses are defined by the package covington. There are two 
solutions:

1.) If you have only a few such example glosses, insert at the end of the 
first line \vspace{-\baselineskip} in TeX mode.

2.) To globally change the spacing, insert to preamble:

\def\gll{%
\begin{flushleft}
\def\baselinestretch{1}%
\@selfnt%
\vskip-\baselineskip%
    \bgroup
    \catcode`\^^M=12
    \twosent
}

However, this might make glosses in other contexts look bad.
