I'm not sure whether it speaks to the issue, but the same problem
appears when I'm using JWM (Joe's Window Manager) and Arch.

I do notice that when I pull the scroll bar down to the bottom
of the window that all the text disappears off the top.
So it occurs to me that this might be a mis-feature, rather
than an out-and-out bug.

If so, perhaps you can advise me how to turn it off.  Usually
the Emacs community is good enough to provide a way of
disabling such features.
