Thanks for the report.  But I cannot recreate the problem that you
report.  Could you provide an example?  Something small that
illustrates the problem.  I tried this:

  mkdir t && cd t
  mkdir a b c
  echo foo1 > a/one
  echo foo2 > b/two
  echo foo3 > c/three
  echo foo4 > four

  grep -c -d recurse foo ./*
  ./a/one:1
  ./b/two:1
  ./c/three:1
  ./four:1

  grep -d skip -c foo ./*
  ./four:1

  grep -c -d skip foo ./*
  ./four:1

Looks okay to me.  What version of grep are you running?

  grep --version
