So I think we are all agreed that the change I proposed would be good.
Would someone like to implement it?

It would be sufficient to add a feature, enabled by some global
variable, to scroll the buffer (to put point on the last line if it's
at the end of the buffer) when the buffer is redisplayed for the first
time after being put in any given window with set-window-buffer.

set-window-buffer could set a flag in the window so that the next
redisplay of that window will do this scrolling if the buffer requests
it.
