Setting the variable to `always' works for me, but the doc string is
misleading here.
---
A value of t means point keeps its screen position if the scroll
command moved it vertically out of the window, e.g. when scrolling
by full screens.
---
If you're on the next-to-last line, `C-v' will not move point out of the
window -- the next-to-last line will end up as the first line.
And there's further peculiarities with the t setting -- if you're at the
next-to-last visual line, `C-v' will put point on the first visual
line. `C-v' again, and it's on the next-to-last line again. So it'll
alternate first/next-to-last after every `C-v'.
