I run the test case with "emacs -Q -l bug.el", so the variables
use their default values:

compilation-error-screen-columns is a variable defined in `compile.el'.
Its value is nil
Original value was t
Local in buffer *grep*; global value is t

grep-error-screen-columns is a variable defined in `grep.el'.
Its value is nil

(defun compilation-move-to-column (col screen)
  "Go to column COL on the current line.
If SCREEN is non-nil, columns are screen columns, otherwise, they are
just char-counts."
  (message "col: %S, screen %S" col screen) ; Display parameters.
  (if screen
      (move-to-column (max col 0))
    (goto-char (min (+ (line-beginning-position) col) (line-end-position)))))

=>
Grep finished (matches found)
col: 13, screen nil
col: 7, screen nil
col: 13, screen t
col: 7, screen t

I get the same values also with the simpler "fix" that I mentioned in
the other post.
