Sure, except grep didn't fail, it just issued a warning on stderr. I installed 
this NEWS item instead:

  The GREP_OPTIONS environment variable no longer affects grep's behavior.
  The variable was declared obsolescent in grep 2.21 (2014), and since
  then any use had caused grep to issue a diagnostic.
