If it did so (pre-filled the command), perhaps you would just use 'M-x 
compile', in cases when you do want the new buffer to be created?

But it seems to work fine to me, including in 'emacs -Q':

* 'M-x compile', input 'ls', RET.
* *compilation* buffer create.
* 'M-x compile' again, in any window (old or new) - 'ls' is pre-filled 
as the input.
