Maybe also check the contents: echo $GREP_OPTIONS

So it prints the filename for just a very few files?  Are it maybe 
those files themselves that contain their own filename at the start 
of some lines?

If that is not the case, then make a new directory, copy some of the 
offending files into it, and run the grep command on that dir, and 
show the full output.
