Strange.  It did for me when I tried that.  I wrote a shell script
that produced a line of output every several seconds, then ran it in a
shell buffer, and switched away.  When I switched back to the shell
buffer, some seconds later, the buffer was full of lines and point was
shown on the last line.

Is it possible that you tried that when the buffer had less than
windowful of text?
