Does the following scenario make some sense?  diff-hunk-next moves
point to a position beyond (window-end), and immediately calls
(recenter '(0)).  Scrolling (which would otherwise respect
scroll-conservatively) gets preempted by diff-hunk-next's call to
recenter.

(Please don't, I will almost certainly screw it up. ;-)
