Thanks for the report.  As shown below, I can't reproduce the bug with 
grep 2.20 (the current version) in either the en_US.utf8 or the 
de_DE.utf8 locales.  grep 2.5.1a is pretty old (dated 2004) and several 
bugs have been fixed in this area in the last ten years, so I suggest 
upgrading and I'm taking the liberty of marking this as done.
