I think it "worked" when scrolltobottom used window-scroll-functions,
see bug #11697.

No, I meant if the last line is not at the bottom of the window,
typing just RET will scroll it to the bottom, because the
post-command-hook will kick in.
So I guess this feature expects an improvement that would put the last
line at the bottom even if no command was invoked by the user.
