I see.  Setting `auto-window-vscroll' to nil gets back the cursor
movement I expected to see.

Defaulting to the current cursor (non-)movement seems kinda un-obvious.
Why would anybody want `C-n' to scroll the window instead of er moving
the cursor down?

I rather like the way Emacs keeps the entire image in the buffer.
Scrolling so that an image is cut off (at the top) is not very pleasant.
