Just a little clarification on what I tested and the results. Erin's
comments are essentially correct but I want to rephrase it slightly so
that there isn't any confusion.
I tested what happens when a page is scrolled to the bottom of the
browser window (geekily known as the viewport) and an absolutely
positioned element is popped-up (displayed) at or near the bottom of a
page with part of the element extending below the bottom edge of the
browser window.
As expected the size of the page is extended so that the scrolling
area of browser encompasses the displayed item and the user can scroll
to the bottom of the absolutely positioned element.
This test was done with Firefox.

We had a productive discussion about the date and time picker with
Antranig and Jonathan at the all-hands. One of the technical
concerns was that since the time picker wheel is fixed around the
text field, it might get cut off when the text field is at the very
bottom of the page. Eli did a quick test and was able to tell us
that when the the time picker pops up at the bottom of the page, the
extra area of the page can become scrollable to show the full length
of the time picker.
