Here is an implementation of the solution.

    void smoothScrollToPositionFromTopWithBugWorkAround(final AbsListView listView,
                                                    final int position,
                                                    final int offset, 
                                                    final int duration){

    //the bug workaround involves listening to when it has finished scrolling, and then 
    //firing a new scroll to the same position.

    //the bug is the case that sometimes smooth Scroll To Position sort of misses its intended position. 
    //more info here : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36062
    listView.smoothScrollToPositionFromTop(position, offset, duration);
    listView.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {

        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view, int scrollState) {
            if(scrollState==OnScrollListener.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE){
                listView.setOnScrollListener(null);
                listView.smoothScrollToPositionFromTop(position, offset, duration);
            }

        }

        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem, int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
        }
    });
}
