I can reproduce that (even without step 2) using

  GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of 2011-01-11 on thinkpad

However, C-p is bound to `previous-line' as usual in that context.

After edebugging a bit, I found that the reasion is that in

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun line-move (arg &optional noerror to-end try-vscroll)
  (unless (and auto-window-vscroll try-vscroll
	       ;; Only vscroll for single line moves
	       (= (abs arg) 1)
	       ;; But don't vscroll in a keyboard macro.
	       (not defining-kbd-macro)
	       (not executing-kbd-macro)
	       (line-move-partial arg noerror to-end))
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    (set-window-vscroll nil 0 t)
    (if line-move-visual
	(line-move-visual arg noerror)
      (line-move-1 arg noerror to-end))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

the underlined call scrolls one line and returns some integer in that
context.  That makes the and clause return non-nil, and so the unless
body is not executed.  I don't know this part of emacs, so I don't know
how to fix the issue...

But I don't think that has something to do with doc-view.

Bye,
Tassilo
