Thanks for the feedback, but I think you have misunderstood the
problem I was trying to describe: it's not that the first line
disappears, but that the display property is not correctly displayed
after scrolling.  In fact, in the test case there is only one line
(the line number indicator in the mode line remains L1 throughout),
but the display property makes it look like two lines.  Again, before
scrolling I see this:

|test test test test test test test test test test test test test test 
|     test test test 
      ^

After scrolling, I see this:

|test test test
 ^

but, due to the display property, I had expected to see this:

|     test test test
      ^

This is the problem.  Are you saying you cannot reproduce this?  (As
you point out, hitting HOME brings the "first line" (i.e., the part of
the line before the display property) back into view, and visually
confirms that the display property is still present, but the problem
is that, after scrolling but before hitting HOME, the display property
appears to have vanished.)
