See issue 34894 (part #1). The output window, as part of its -initialization-, disables the "Next Error" action. There's no need to do it this early (the Output Window's initialization happens on startup even when there is no Output Window open; see stacktrace listed in issue 34894). The Next Error action is already disabled from startup. So, the Output Window only needs to update its state whenever the Output Window is opened (or cleared/compilation restarted). The reason for this is that some other windows, such as the suggestions view, also hooks into the Next/Previous buttons. If these windows are made visible at startup, one of them should get to own the F12 key, but now the output window which isn't even visible goes and sets the action performer to null which disables it.
A proper solution to issue #30536 might solve this for free.
Fixed as part of fix for 37258 - see OutputTabInner 1.5. It will now check if the action performer is its own, and only set it to null if it is. I *think* that won't cause problems elsewhere.
