I'm afraid I don't actually know the answer to this question (although
I'm sure there will be one). I was also slightly suprised when reading
it that this had never irritated me.
But then I realised what I do: Before starting to scroll, I hit C-Space
to set a mark. Then I wander round the file to my hearts content, not
even necessarily returning to where I started before hitting C-u C-Space
and being back and with point "unmoved".
Maybe this is a useful different way of solving your problem.
