next-error wrong position in target file

In Emacs 22.2, the first `next-error' in certain circumstances goes to
the wrong error line in the target file.  With the dummy file foo.txt
below, and on a 50 line console,

    emacs -Q foo.txt
    C-v               # page down in foo.txt
    C-x b Ret         # back to *scratch* buffer
    M-x compile
    echo 'foo.txt:''150: an error here'
    C-x `             # next-error

    => goes to foo.txt with point at line 56

The echo simply produces a compilation buffer claiming an error at
foo.txt line 150, but then next-error goes to line 56.  On a different
size terminal or under X you get a different wrong position, like line
45 or 24.

The recipe above is rather specific, there's all sorts of ways it works
correctly.  If you don't scroll-up, or if you leave foo.txt the current
buffer, then it's fine.  I've struck this on various occasions without
ever being able to reproduce it, since a second try in the same session
goes ok!  My recent-ish build of the current emacs cvs head still seems
to have the problem too, whatever it is.
