S-Voice "Navigate to <place>" or "Navigate to <address>" doesn't work anymore

Try this: Open S-Voice and say "Navigate to <address>" for some address or "Navigate to <place>" for some place. What I expect to happen here is that it'll repeat that command back to me, then go into the Nav app (in my case it's Google Nav) and navigate to that location, asking me to pick if there are multiple matches.

On both my N2 and my wife's, what we get is the repeat-back, then it goes into Google Nav (with a brief spinning-circle-around-a microphone), and then nothing. We have to type the place or address into the Nav app's entry box again.

This seems to be fairly recent, but I couldn't say exactly how recent - I rarely use this feature since I'm usually going to an appointment which has a linked Calendar entry, so I can click the address from there. But my wife was complaining to me about it, so I tried it on my phone today and had the same problem. Anyone else seeing this (or NOT seeing this and have a solution)?
