I can't reproduce this.  Here's what I tried:

emacs -q
M-x grep RET
DEL DEL w article ~/*
   [minibuffer contains `grep -nH -w article ~/*']
RET
C-x `
C-x `
C-x `

Each of these calls to next-error correctly send me to subsequent
occurrences of the word "article" in files in my home directory.

Could you provide a more detailed recipe to demonstrate the problem?
