This issue comes up every month or so. What you're experiencing is a "feature" with Sortables implementation, caused by the CSS spec. The draggable is a child of the list, which is scrollable. Thus, the drabble must necessarily be bound to the same scroll region as its parent. When you drag over to the new list, you're altering it parent to be the new list. If you want to try and hack scriptaculous to get around this, the you'll need to make the draggable a child of some element higher in the hierarchy than the list.
There are some better ways to get the functionality you want w/o drag/ drop anyway. The simplest is to just use select boxes, with directional arrows in the middle (you can also have the list items respond to double-click events). If you're wanting something more fancy, do a styled list with arrows to the right of each list item. Then all the user has to do is click to move the item over, rather than drag. It's significantly more efficient if order doesn't matter, especially when moving multiple items back and forth.
