EDIT:
The problem is still here, and I managed to find the actual problem.
The problem happens when I do the "C-C C-l file:" then select a file. The root cause is that the mini-buffer then lists all the files in the current directory, and when there are many, the mini-buffer becomes quite big. Thus, the current buffer gets its size reduced, and when the cursor was very low in the buffer frame/window(?), the cursor "magically" jumps to a new position, in the part of the buffer that remained visible.
It is now perfectly reproducible on my side.
