I can verify this still happens on macOS using current master.

I think this has since been fixed.

That's how the scroll-bar thumb was designed to work in Emacs.

By height changing I mean the tallness of the thumb, not its position
on the scrollbar. My display resolution is 1920 x 1080. If I start
Emacs with emacs -Q, click the maximize window button in the top right
corner, and go to the tutorial by pressing C-h t. The scrollbar thumb
is now 24 pixels tall. Now if I press C-v to scroll down, the
scrollbar thumb grows to be 42 pixels tall.
Is it actually meant to work this way? GTK+ Emacs on my Debian machine
does not change the size of the scrollbar thumb as I scroll.

Yes, that's what I meant.

The thumb reflects the size in characters, not in screen lines, so it
cannot be constant as you scroll, especially if lines in the buffer
differ a lot in their length.

Then I conclude that this works as designed on macOS, and I'm closing
this bug.
(That said, this is an unusual feature, IMHO.)
