I'm sorry, but the problem you describing is entirely unclear to me.
You didn't say what value, if any, did you set scroll-conservatively
to, nor if you have any other scroll-* variables customized to
non-default values. If you don't customize anything, Emacs always
re-centers when point goes out of sight. When point is re-centered, I
don't think you can ever have half-window of empty space, because of
the way re-centering works.
Given this lack of information, I don't understand how you get the
adverse effects in your 3 examples. Please elaborate, perhaps
separately about each of the examples.
Thanks.
