That's right.  You have it.

Well...  Not really.  But mostly because you sent your bug report to
bug-coreutils instead of bug-grep.  Wrong bug list!

Since you have it figured out and it is the wrong list I am going to
go ahead and mark the bug as closed.  You can follow up with bug-grep
if you have another report.
