This is not a bug, but a feature: Emacs does not allow the cursor to
enter a partially visible line; it scrolls the buffer to make the line
with the cursor fully visible. Displaying characters in the
font-lock-warning-face makes them slightly larger (because that face
makes the characters bold), and that can cause the last line to exceed
the visible portion of the window.

If that face also enlarges the characters, this is a feature of the
Emacs display engine.
