You should be able to solve this if you invoke lgrep with C-u or with
"C-u C-u".

I'm not sure it is easy to always protect the regexp, since (1) we use
grep-template used by many other related commands, and also because
lgrep uses --exclude and --include options, so the "--" you asked for
cannot be before those options we add.
