A HTML element will render with a scrollbar when setting overflow:auto and
line-height:100% or lower. This does happen for any height and for a line-height
in px as well.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Create an element and set it's style properties as described. eg:
<div style="
    line-height:100%;
    overflow:auto;
    border:1px solid red;
    height:200px;
    width:200px">Foo</div>
Actual Results:  
Scrollbars are shown

Expected Results:  
No scrollbars.

Looks like the problem is that the text overflows the line box in the up
direction (since a line-height equal to the font size is not enough to actually
hold the font)....  Then we end up seeing this as overflow on the element itself
somehow?  Setting a line-height one or two pixels larger than the font-size
makes the scrollbar go away.

I'm frankly not quite sure what the right rendering is...

Yes, it's overflow. I'm not sure if we overflow in the right direction though.
Why would the scrollbar go down? Surely the overflow is in the 'up' direction.

The scrollbar doesn't go anywhere.  It just exists.  Probably because we don't
support scrolling in the "up" direction yet -- see bug 6976
