I think the following default behavior is good enough:

1. If the current buffer is a next-error capable buffer, return it.
2(new). If one and only one window on the current frame displays
        a next-error capable buffer, return this buffer.
3. If next-error-last-buffer is set to a live buffer, use that.
4. Otherwise, look for a next-error capable buffer in the buffer list.
5. Signal an error if there are none.
