I can't replicate this behaviour in Emacs 25 and the patch provided in
this email was applied in 2009:


commit 0b508a27360a82763d4d7256b4cd526f9d3514aa
Author: Richard M. Stallman <rms <at> gnu.org>
Date:   Mon May 18 16:30:59 2009 +0000

    * progmodes/compile.el (compilation-filter): If inserting at end
    of accessible part of buffer, keep end of output visible.


I believe we can close this bug report.
