Hmmm, this looks like a scrolling optimization bug.
I can't build the NS port right now, but if you insert:

  return false;

right after

  /* Can't scroll the display of w32 GUI frames when position of point
     is indicated by the system caret, because scrolling the display
     will then "copy" the pixels used by the caret.  */
#ifdef HAVE_NTGUI
  if (w32_use_visible_system_caret)
    return 0;
#endif

in `scrolling_window', in dispnew.c, does the problem go away?
