To me it looks more like a consequence of Plan 9's treatment of files as
sequences of bytes/chars/runes rather then sequences of lines as is common
in Unix. Basically, you can't scroll beyond the end of the file, and if the
insertion point coincides with the eof there's no need to jump on input. A
(possibly) related effect can be seen if you scroll across very long lines
(I saw this when viewing an e-mail with a somewhat large number of
recipients.) You might still consider it a bug, but I'm afraid the fix won't
really be straightforward and you might end up half way towards cursor
addressing.
Rio and sam show the same behaviour, by the way.
