List jumping when sliding using maintainVisibleContentPosition on Android

Description

I use maintainVisibleContentPosition in the chat list. When sliding to view older chat messages, if a new message (Especially very long messages, exceeding the height of the screen) is inserted into the list, the (android) list will jump, but iOS will not.

I can reproduce it using the latest RN 0.72.6 and wrote a demo.

@janicduplessis Can this be fixed?

Comienza ejecutando la flatlist-demo enlazada con React Native 0.72.6 y reproduciendo el salto en Android al deslizarte por mensajes antiguos. Traza el manejo de maintainVisibleContentPosition en Android y compáralo con el comportamiento en iOS. Se considera terminado cuando insertar un mensaje muy largo ya no cambia inesperadamente la posición visible en Android.
