I cannot reproduce this on MS-Windows.  In my case, M-v from the end
of the buffer puts point on line 902, but it is the second line from
the bottom of the window, not the first.  And even if I then type C-n,
point stays on the last line.  I see no recentering at all.

Anyway, from what you say it sounds like the message displayed by
eldoc-mode in the echo area, which causes redisplay, somehow makes
Emacs think the window where you have the Lisp file needs to be
recentered because point is in a line that is not visible enough.

Do you see the same problem in Emacs 23.2?
