In between here is the call to `display-buffer' which for some reason
returns nil in your case.  Could you try to edebug `display-buffer'
(from another frame to not break the window layout) and tell me from
which line it returns nil?

>   pop-to-buffer(#<buffer z.c> other-window)
>   compilation-goto-locus(#<marker at 204 in *compilation*> #<marker at
> 55 in z.c> nil)
>   compilation-next-error-function(0 nil)
>   next-error-internal()
>   compile-goto-error(return)
>   call-interactively(compile-goto-error nil nil)

Thanks, martin.
