One possible cause is that the file is a symlink or in a directory that is a symlink. The compiler notes contain absolute filenames and XEmacs somehow opens a second buffer even if an open buffer exists but only for the symlinked file. So the notes are only inserted in the other buffer and M-n/M-p can't find them. Maybe there's a way to customize this symlink stuff in XEmacs.

In GNU Emacs the variable to frob to control this behavior I believe is 'find-file-existing-other-name'. I had lots of trouble with that and tags search at work, as I have "/build/foo" linked to "/mnt/build1/foo".
