Oh wow, that's awesome! I'll try it out some more but it seems that the
problem is mostly gone (ie it still happens sometimes, but pretty
rarely). To find places where it happens, I use the macro C-n C-l C-v
M-v and repeated it. It looks roughly consistent with my 10% heuristic,
so I would say this bug is fixed: I imagine "fixing" it completely would
change semantics too much and might not be generally desirable. If I
want to really impose this behavior I can always tweak C-v and M-v to
scroll by a fixed amount of lines.

Thanks a lot Eli for the fix, and thanks Lars for taking up this old bug
report!
