Works for me. Are you sure you're following the directions?

Grab the scroll bar
whilst grabbed, press Amiga-N

Now move it around. If you're not careful, you meet Mr Guru.

Another one, in a similar vein, is grabbing the window sizing
gadget - make a window about 1/4 size of screen, and centre it.
Then grab the sizing gadget then, without releasing the mouse
button, press Amiga-N (nothing obvious happens), now resize the
window [you didn't release the mouse button did you!], and Tah
Dah!  you can resize it to ANY size (no minimum) - now, resize it
NEGATIVELY, (move mouse above top left corner of window) Let go
of mouse button, and Instant Guru.

I've tested this under 2.0x, and the system no longer lets you do
it. A plus for the team at CATS.
