Send a PR to Redhat.
In the meantime get 2.4.2 on ftp.gnu.org and compile
it yourself, it should take 5 minutes.

# wget -q ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-2.4.2.tar.gz -O - |gzip -dc |tar xvf -
# cd grep-2.4.2
# ./configure
# make
# make check

Try this version.

I'm simply unable to reproduce what your seeing ...
but I'm also testing with an old GNU/Linux distribution
RedHat 5.1.  Which means an older GLibC.
