Here are links to two (2) youtube videos showing the issue on Emacs 26.1 (built by https://emacsformacosx.com/ a few months ago) and also the master branch that I built using a commit from 07/10/2019 (40cd6278ba965f3a9fcdddc568eb9ee7c69cf899).  I don't have a 26.2 build at the moment.  The issue is less noticeable on the master branch, but can still be seen nevertheless.  I have not studied the code as to what makes this feature work, but offhand would think that the header-line should not be overwritten by the row moving upwards (rather than updated after it has been overwritten).
