As of today, the test case

echo " 
            1234" | grep --color=auto '[1-9]'
 (80 spaces and 1234)

still fails in (u)xterm. Any resolution in sight?

(Sorry for not providing any opinion of _how_ to resolve it technically 
at the moment; I'm not good enough for that. It is just the bug has been 
kind of disturbing me for a few years already...)
