I think this is due to the following change: 2007-12-27 Richard Stallman * progmodes/compile.el (compilation-start): Set initial visible point properly even when compilation buffer already current. Which was meant to address this complaint: From: Drew Adams Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 3:21 PM Previously in Emacs 22, as well as in previous releases, , repeating grep in the *grep* buffer would put you at the top of the buffer. This was true at least as late as a build from 2006-07-19. Now, it puts you at the end of the buffer, so you must do M-< to get back to the beginning. Quite annoying.
