I have the same problem, never took time to figure out how to fix it.

Start Vim with: vim -u NORC -N

Edit a directory with lots of files, move to halfway the list.
Press Enter, then :e #.
I end up at the top of the listing.
If after Enter I use CTRL-O I end up at the bottom of the listing.

In both cases using '" takes me to where I wanted to be. Does netrw
jump to the '" mark when opening a directory?
