More debugging info: It looks like this only occurs when the listing doesn't take up the entire buffer screen. For example, I opened a dir in netrw that had many subdirs that took up the entire length of the buffer and this redrawing did not take place. If I switch to a dir (as noted in the original post) that contains only a few items, the behavior mentioned in the original post occurs.
