    AFAICT, you must always visit each occurrence in one file before moving on
    to the next file. (Or else you can of course quit altogether, unmark the
    file you're through with, and then hit `Q' again.)

I agree it would be good to have a way to skip to the start of the next file.
A natural interface for this would be to unmark each file just before starting
to search that file.  Then, quitting the command and resuming it will skip
that file.
