I think because I was blindly looking only to my particular use case: 
Occur/Grep.

Yeah, it makes sense.  The only thing is that it makes harder to find
the right name for this command;  I think by improving the docstring
makes more clear what is this about.
How does it look now?:

(defun this-error-recenter (&optional arg)
  "Recenter the current displayed error in the `next-error' buffer.
If called not from a `next-error' buffer, then it just calls
`recenter-top-bottom' in the other window."
  (interactive "P")
  (if (not (or (eq major-mode 'occur-mode) (derived-mode-p 'compilation-mode)))
      (with-selected-window (other-window-for-scrolling) (recenter-top-bottom 
arg))
    (funcall next-error-function 0 nil)
    (recenter-top-bottom arg)
    (pop-to-buffer next-error-last-buffer)))
