This is exactly the behavior under scroll-conservatively:
Scroll up to this many lines, to bring point back on screen.
If point moves off-screen, redisplay will scroll by up to
`scroll-conservatively' lines in order to bring point just barely
onto the screen again. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And this is what happens in the use case you describe. So I'm unsure
why you regard this a bug. What did you expect instead, and why?
In general, setting scroll-conservatively to 1 tells Emacs that you
are prepared to see as little as 1 line of context.
