Why is that a problem?  The default Emacs scrolling commands don't
guarantee smooth constant-rate scrolling, they guarantee only that you
get to see all the portions of the image, without missing any.  So
when you get to the end of the image, there's a heuristic that decides
whether we can scroll past the image, and that is what you see.

I see no bug here.
