Yes, this appears to be an issue where the user's terminal emulator 
clears the line after \r\n is output. So the user will see similar 
output using (say) 'cat', and the problem has nothing to do with 'grep' 
per se. Closing the bug report here, though it's quite possible a bug 
report should be filed against the user's terminal emulator (whatever it 
is).
