The underlying functionality (next-error/previous-error) is the same so
binding `n'/`p' makes sense to me as well.  But next-error also has the
`C-x `' binding *globally* so maybe it makes sense to think about the
corresponding global binding for previous-error as well.  At least in my
experience it's more useful to jump back and forth between interesting
points in the source buffer than in the adjunct compilation/grep/occur
buffer.
