Perhaps something like this:

(defadvice mark-paragraph (after region-end-visible activate)
   "When called interactively, temporarily display the end of the marked region
if it is not visible in the selected window."
   (when (and (called-interactively-p 'any)
	     ;; (eq this-command last-command)
	     (not (pos-visible-in-window-p (region-end))))
     (exchange-point-and-mark)
     (sit-for 1)
     (exchange-point-and-mark)))
