This is my solution to get ScrollIntoView working. I perform the operation in the LayoutUpdated() event

public void ManipulateData()
{
    // Add a new record or what else is needed;
    myItemsSourceCollection.Add(...); 

    // Not needed when the ItemsSource is a ObervableCollectin 
    // with correct Binding (ItemsSource="{ Binding myItemsSourceElement }")
    myDataGrid.Items.Refresh();

    // Goto last Item or where ever
    myDataGrid.SelectedIndex = this.myDataGrid.Items.Count - 1;
}

// The LayoutUpdated event for the DataGrid
private void myDataGrid_LayoutUpdated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (myDataGrid.SelectedItem == null)
        return;
    //<----------

    // may become improved to check first if the `ScrollIntoView()` is really needed

    // To prevent hanging here the ItemsSource must be 
    // a) an ObervableCollection with a correct working binding or
    // b) myDataGrid.Items.Refresh(); must be called after changing
    // the data
    myDataGrid.ScrollIntoView(myDataGrid.SelectedItem, null);
}
