Ok, I did not try with -Q, but here is what happens, I do `M-x rgrep'
and I get the error with that backtrace:

  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)


So, the question is why on earth do I have in files.el the following
code inside function `cd-absolute':

    (unless (file-executable-p dir)
      (error "Cannot cd to %s:  Permission denied" dir))

FYI, under MSWindows-XP with directory, calling file-executable-p returns nil
even though I have read access rights.

  Vincent.

IIUC this bug (i.e. file-execute-p returning nil on directories under
w32) was fixed on the trunk a little while ago.

Indeed, in revision 110923.  Please in the future try to update to the
latest before reporting bugs.
