I don't think I can reproduce this. I've just ran a Grep command
whose hits look like this:
d:/gnu/emacs/branch/src/callproc.c:214:#ifdef DOS_NT
and they seem to exhibit all the traits of a Grep hit.
What exactly do you mean by "prevents from being recognized as a grep
match"? What doesn't happen that you expected to happen and that was
happening with prior versions of Emacs? Also, does the problem go
away if you invoke Emacs as "emacs -Q"?
