compilation-grab-filename sometimes uses the following expression to
return the filename after point as a string:
(buffer-substring (point)
(progn
(skip-chars-forward "^ :,\n\t(")
(point)))))
The skip-chars-forward deliberately won't include a comma in the file
name. I suspect this is because some programs that people want to run
in compilation buffers delimit the filename with a comma, but I can't
think of any such programs.
If you took the comma out of the set, I think your problem would go
away. But you probably already knew this. :-)
Roland McGrath <roland@gnu.ai.mit.edu> wrote the compile.el package
that will go into Emacs 19, and it does not suffer from this problem.
