Well this one looks to be a problem with my setup - or maybe in one of
the packages I've loaded, so I need to track it down a bit before I
can submit a sensible bug report

After a bit of investigation

emacs -q 

(setq comint-output-filter-functions
'(comint-watch-for-password-prompt comint-truncate-buffer 
  comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom)) ; my settings for this
      no problem

emacs 
      with the same setq - no problem

But I'm seeing it in my current session(!)

tried loading vm and gnus - both of which I'm using, in a new session,
still no problem

Time for some serious digging and working though features I think!
