I wonder if you're fighting its size_allocate, maybe it doesn't scroll
properly until after the resize for a new model.  (Which would be a
serious misfeature, but TextView for instance does even worst stuff.)

As a hack you might try scrolling (by cell or by pixels) in an idle
handler lower than GTK_PRIORITY_RESIZE.

Sounds like a bug.
