You could add a call to `recenter' to window-scroll-functions in
the *Messages* buffer.
e.g.
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*Messages*")
(add-hook 'window-scroll-functions (lambda () (recenter -1))))
This is elegant, but there are two problems with it. First,
Each [window-scroll-function] is called with *two arguments*,
the window and its new display-start position.
Second, if I put in "dummy" arguments, viz.,
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*Messages*")
(add-hook 'window-scroll-functions (lambda (arg1 arg2)
(recenter -1))))
(this might be surprising?) -- it only works when *Messages* is the
current buffer (which isn't a great improvement on the default
behavior).
