24.3.93; jumping to compilation error location gives the wrong column |

In GNU Emacs 24.3.93.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0)
Repository revision: 117453 address@hidden
When stepping through compilation errors `C-x `' jumps to a code
location with correct line, but incorrect column: it actually jumps to a
column previous to the right one. Checked with emacs -Q and Java files
compilation.
Emacs is built from current emacs-24 bzr branch.

It's even worse, as I've just discovered: we have a "checkstyle" plugin
for Maven which, yes, checks style. And maven outputs its errors with
differently based column numbers (starting with one). This and javac
invocation happens within one compilation, so it seems currently we have
no way of distinguishing between them and applying different settings.
Anyway, I'm closing this bug for now.
