That's designed behavior. It's "current threads" not current posts. So it just takes you to the thread.
But the way you describe it working is how it works on IIP.
I imagine if you wanted to have it jump down, you'd have to alter the query to also find out what the last post is by grabbing the B_LastPostNum field from the database and add an anchor tag to the link.
