Talked to Owen about it and we came to much the same conclusion you
did here...

The problem is that those new lines are 0-height. So if you're already
at the last line, scrolling to the new lines doesn't do anything at
all, since they are all in the same place.

I opened this bug about it, if you want to put yourself on the cc
list:
 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40304

Will be looking at fixing that in the near future.

I've seen this from time to time, but not recently. On Dec. 1 I made a
fix that I thought would fix it. I'm not sure if that was before or
after 1.3.2 (you were using 1.3.2 right?).

Anyhow, if it was before, it would be helpful if you can come up with
a good reliable way to duplicate the problem.
