sorry, I should read core-devel more often.. I supposedly fixed this issue 
already (r1076383) but thank you for investigating.

As for the details, if you are interested, it is a bit convoluted...
our widget() is supposed to cover the viewport at all time so there shouldn't 
be any paint event for the viewport that would be outside the widget() rect.

but when the widget() is resized to become bigger than the viewport, and we 
now scrollbars are going to automatically appear, and thus that the viewport() 
is going to shrink eventually to make room for them, we tend to preemptively 
account for the future size of the viewport in the widget if needed.

e.g. viewport 500x500, widget 500x500, document suddenly grows to 1000, thus 
resize widget to e.g 483x1000, knowing that the viewport will resize to 
483x500 momentarily.

So there is a short transitory moment where the widget is actually smaller 
than the viewport, and thus where the viewport might receive a paint event 
that we can't service (yes, there definetly should be an assert to this 
effect, I will see to it).

Earlier Qt versions didn't send a paint event, Qt 4.6 does.
