Thank you for looking into this.

But I think the commit, though indeed avoids the reported undue 
scrolling, brings other undesired side effects.  Usually, 
`org-agenda-later' will carry over the current day of the week to the 
next week.  If we call it on Thursday, point will be placed on the same 
week day of the next week.

Just calling `(set-window-start nil 1)' there breaks this regularity. 
It is easy to generate a case where this happens.  Just squeeze the 
height of your window on a "populated" agenda, and choose a day for 
which that day next week won't fit in the window if position 1 is shown, 
and call it from there.

Perhaps doing so before the call to 
`org-agenda-find-same-or-today-or-agenda' would be a possibility? 
(untested)

Best,
Gustavo.
