I can reproduce it in an xterm on Solaris 2.4, IBM AIX 3.2 and DEC OFS/1
V2.0, SunOS 4.1.2 and Ultrix 4.2.

I can not reproduce it on Linux with termcap (although I use a quite old
/etc/termcap) but with ncurses it is reproducible either in an xterm or on
the console.

The new contents of the line gets inserted before the bogous line so the
correct if ... which was on the screen before the scroll is shifted right
as the new contents of the line is printed.  Perhaps it happens only if the
terminal has some insert capability (I'm just guessing).
