Thanks a lot for taking care of this bug.
bsdgrep now works for my testcase.

As a side note:
On 11.0-RELEASE (GNU) grep in base suffers the same bug. I tried version 
2.20 on Debian which works correctly. But I assume it won't get updated 
due to GPLv3.

Makes me wonder if we still need two grep variants in base.
