The change in grep 2.22 is due to an earlier bug report: http://bugs.gnu.org/21027 and was implemented by this patch: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=c5c70eae261133d71a9436557d998a48aaf0a5feAlthough I can see arguments either way, the grep 2.22 behavior is consistent with grep 2.6 and earlier, so in some sense it's more-conservative.
