2.6.21 behaves much the same, if I understand you correctly. Except
Ctrl-PgUp works once only.
If I have three account tabs open, and click on the rightmost *tab*, then
Ctrl-PgUp switches focus to the last-but-one *transaction list*, and a
second Ctrl-PgUp scrolls that list.
However, Ctrl-PgDown moves the focus to the blank line at the bottom of
the current transaction list, and *not* necessarily to where PgDown would
take it (e.g. if I've already moved a couple of screensful up the list).
Perhaps the "Tip" describes functionality that was only part implemented.
