I can't reproduce it (though I haven't tried very hard).  Do you have
the latest Emacs binary from Simtelnet?  There were a couple of very
subtle library bugs that affected Emacs, but the binaries on Simtelnet
are linked against a patched library.   Those could be affecting this.

Btw, for me, next-error is C-x `.
