Ok.

This was with the wheel.  But the output when using "M-5 M-v" three
times in a row is equal, modulo some "redisplay_internal 0" lines.

Before the last line here is executed:

 > 	  if (new_vpos >= w->cursor.y)
 > 	    {
 > 	      w->cursor.vpos = -1;

we have,

(gdb) p new_vpos
$1 = 561
(gdb) p w->cursor.y
$2 = 557
(gdb) p w->cursor.vpos
$3 = 27
