This is a known mess in surf. Or I should say a conceptual mess, a mess that, as far as I can tell, only implementing modes would fix. On the one hand, you might be tempted to bind Up/Down to replace C-j and C-k. Then the "strange" behaviour won't occur, of course. But *then* if you try to use Up/Down in a textarea box it won't be treated as an Up/Down but a C-j/C-k. Which is (I think) more annoying than the original annoyance. The solution is to train yourself to never hit Up/Down and rather aim your fingers at C-j/C-k. PgUp/PgDown work fine, fwiw. I'd be happy to hear of someone who has a quick-n-dirty solution to this problem.
