I was also slightly suprised when reading it that this had never irritated me. But then I realised what I do: Before starting to scroll, I hit C-Space to set a mark. Then I wander round the file to my hearts content, not even necessarily returning to where I started before hitting C-u C-Space and being back and with point "unmoved". Maybe this is a useful different way of solving your problem.
