Not sure if that gets updated correctly.
Take a look at the three screenshots I put up here:

http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/dreitter/scrollbar-issue/

You'll see some random document in a buffer. Screenshots 1 and 2 show 
different parts of the document, and you see that the slider has a 
totally different size. To me as a user, it looks like we're seeing 
about the same amount of the buffer in the window. So why does the 
slider have a different size?
If I play around (scroll back and forth) a little more, you can see 
what happens - screenshot 3 shows the same portion of the buffer as in 
2, but this time with a very small slider.

According to your explanation and looking at the size of the buffer, 
screenshots 1 and 3 are correct, but 2 is not.
