AFAIK, the only way redisplay guarantees that point will always be at
the bottom of the window is if you set scroll-conservatively to a
value larger than 100. Otherwise, sooner or later you will see
recentering under some conditions.
If you want this behavior for shell buffers, I suggest to customize
comint-move-point-for-output and/or comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input.
