I seem to have found the root of the problem. Christian was right, gnome-terminal never had that feature. Gentoo included a patch for vte-0.11.18 to add line scrolling. For vte-0.12.2 this patch is not included, that's why that feature stopped working after I upgraded. So I'll continue this discussion with the gentoo people and try to figure out a way to add this patch to vte-0.12.2. For the time being I get line scrolling back by using gnome-terminal-2.14.2 with vte-0.11.18.
However, I'd like to express my opinion here that gnome should include this one line scroll patch into the main source of vte. I think it is a really neat and useful feature. And as Christian said, the lack of this feature made him not use gnome-terminal.
