I'm seeing this problem as well.  As far as I can tell, it appeared in
revision 1.563 of gtktreeview.c and revision 1.96 of
gtkcellrenderertext.c.  ChangeLog.pre-2-10 has this to say:

2006-07-18  Kristian Rietveld  <kris imendio com>

        Fix for #335012, reported by Matteo Nastasi.

        * gtk/gtktreeview.c (gtk_tree_view_real_start_editing): if the
        requested space of the editable is smaller than the cell area,
        put it up above the middle of the cell area.

        * gtk/gtkcellrenderertext.c (gtk_cell_renderer_text_start_editing):
        configure the inner border to cover the cell area if the 
        entry requisition is smaller than the cell_area.
