Wait... so you can only set the scroll of a group that is directly on the card then? That makes it quite difficult to use...
I think it can be anywhere, not just the card. The trick is, the layermode must be set on the topmost object; if it's a group, then set it on the group itself, not the contents of the group.
Where did you learn that the scrolling group can't be inside another group? I've just confirmed it using the effective layermode but I can't see it documented...
I'm not sure where it is now, but it was mentioned in the release notes.
I think this means for scrolling fields in a custom control you need to set their height to the formatted height and then just scroll the group.
I'm not sure how it would work in that case. If you have more than one scroller in the group it could get tricky, and I think you're right that's where the jerkiness comes in. My fields haven't been in groups, so that's why I didn't see it.
The dictionary has a good explanation of how layermode works, maybe that will help you figure out what to do. It doesn't specifically address the kind of grouping you need to do though.
