This is probably a bug, or at least could be handled by McCLIM itself. 
I added this in an application I wrote that displays really big tables:

(defclass redisplay-frame-mixin ()
   ())

(defmethod redisplay-frame-pane :after
     ((frame redisplay-frame-mixin) (pane application-pane) &key force-p)
   (declare (ignore force-p))
   (change-space-requirements
    pane :height (bounding-rectangle-height (stream-output-history 
pane))))

(define-application-frame geekbooks (master-frame-mixin 
redisplay-frame-mixin
				     standard-application-frame)
   ((current-account :accessor current-account)
    (reconciling-activity :accessor reconciling-activity)) ...)

This could be the default for application panes with scroll bars.
