Ok, I understand the confusion now.

First, as "viewport" is an overloaded term, let me clarify that in this context by "viewport" I meant the <html> element. (I edited the bug summary accordingly.)

On Bugzilla, the <html> is only ever scrollable when zoomed in. If the page is scrollable when zoomed out, the (only) thing that's scrolling is the <div>.

The issue occurs when both the <div> and the <html> are scrollable (otherwise, there is no "handoff").

The "if <html> is only scrollable when zoomed in" in the bug title does not refer to the conditions that trigger this bug, but rather a limitation on the solution I'm proposing: I'm proposing to allow immediate handoff from the <div> to the <html>, but limited to cases where the <html> is only scrollable when zoomed in. (Allowing immediate handoff from a <div> to the <html> *in general* would defeat the original intent of bug 1230552.)
