I was playing vanilla Half-Life from Steam; not Source, and without any mods or file changes. I had just downloaded the game and verified my files.

To fix the problem I had to enter in the console:
- fps_max 90
... and then I restarted the game from the beginning. fps_max 100 (the default when you install the game) should work too.
My fps_max was previously set to 200; I'm not sure why. Maybe it was from when I ran Half-Life 4+ years ago; and the steam cloud made sure my old (and wrong) configs were always saved for me, no matter how many times I reinstalled the whole game.

Update: this bug should have been fixed in Half-Life's new 25th anniversary updates, which include: "Fixed push-able entity movement being based on framerate."
