Definitively a bug, you would expect the list to stop when you reach the top.
Having the topmost object halfway down the screen is not something that should happen by default.

That would be the way to go.
If the user want to reach the very topmost object it will be a conscious act.

Another thing might be a 2-3 second delay that slides the list up again if no action is taken by the user.
