I have just build and run the tests on this system:

  SunOS login 5.10 Generic_147440-27 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220

All tests passed.
Then I ran manually the one that failed for you, and it passed:
[note that the range endpoints are Ctrl-a and Ctrl-e]

  > echo $'a\002c'| LC_ALL=ru_RU.KOI8-R ./grep -E 'a[^A-^E]?c'
  ac

It's looking like this problem is due to something specific to your
personal environment.
Can you reproduce that?

FTR, the gcc in my path was this:
  gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)
