That's exactly what I meant. It refocuses on the unit that moved. I have
tested things exactly as you describe and this is what I see. The scrolling
always puts the unit that just moved in the center of the map. So the
amount of scrolling does depend on its position, but not on the distance it
moved.

The reason for this is probably that Tcl does nothing in real time (a major
problem with this interface). All you can do is "schedule" things to happen
later, whenever Tcl feels like it. So it seems the scheduled recentering on
the unit that just moved overlaps with the build command to the next unit.

What is strange is not the recentering itself, but the fact that it always
happens, irrespective of the position of the unit that moved. When you move
several units after each other, recentering on each unit is filtered out
unless one of them end up too close to the edge. Seems like this does not
happen if you switch to a build task, which causes the map to recenter
every time in that case.
