I have finally found enough time to track it down.  The change
responsible for all my scrolling problems is Richard's change to
indent.c on March 2nd:

2004-03-02  Richard M. Stallman  <address@hidden>

        * indent.c (compute_motion): Save vpos in prev_vpos, like hpos etc.

Reverting this change (see attached patch) solves all issues in Dired,
Gnus, etc.

I have tried to come up with a fix but failed.  I don't really
understand why this change was necessary, it adds complexity and does
not fix anything as far as I can see.  If it was just a code cleanup,
maybe the best would be to revert it for the time being.
