I am not seeing a problem with that test case on my platform.  I am 
running Fedora 20 x86-64, and compiled grep with GCC 4.9.1 (which I 
built myself) and linked with the standard Fedora package 
pcre-8.33-6.fc20.x86_64.  I also tried building with the Fedora GCC in 
32-bit mode, and couldn't reproduce the bug there either.

Possibly it's a libpcre problem?

I tested with grep commit b2490802defe3c3bf7ef0036a4515d006a08a769 and 
grep-bug-big5-utf8-from-IO-All commit 
9469e6e5be97d631c02bcfdbe814f43d1bb2df56.
