So for http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/3185 the spec says "the containing block is formed by the padding edge of the ancestor." and so, in my understanding, the position:absolute element should stay anchored to the element's padding edge when the element is scrolled, since the padding edge doesn't move.
