Thanks for reporting that. This appears to be a duplicate of these longstanding 
grep bug reports:

https://bugs.gnu.org/22793
https://bugs.gnu.org/32806
https://bugs.gnu.org/34238

so I have merged your bug report to join the throng.

The actual bug is in glibc, and is reported here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11053

This bug been unfixed since 2009 so a fix is not likely soon, unfortunately. A 
patch would be welcome of course.
