There's a compilation-message = nil property (or somesuch; can't check
right now) that grep.el adds via font-lock that is presumably supposed
to handle this, but it does not seem to work. compile.el does similar
things for its start and end messages.

Yes, but the error used to be silently discarded. People are likely to
notice it now. (People who run with debug-on-error non-nil will get true
errors. So don't do that. :)) If there was a simple fix it could go in
24.4, but otherwise it can indeed wait. I thought someone should at
least have a look...
