I thought using Alt + Arrow keys (up, down) should emulate mouse wheel behaviour

Where did you get that impression? I can't find anywhere that exactly defines what that key combination does, but nothing I can find says its a mouse replacement.

All the Geany docs say is "scroll view" with no mention of what the cursor does or does not do, unlike the line above for ctrl_shift+l. The Scintilla docs are similarly silent (which is probably why Geany ones are, since Geany simply calls Scintilla).

Certainly the oldest version I have (1.36) works like that, and as far as I can recall it always did, but I never paid much attention.

This is also the way Scite behaves (except its key combo is different).

Certainly it is strange, exactly what it is for I don't know.

Is this intended behaviour?

You would have to ask that of Scintilla, perhaps there is some olden times use.
