No, it is a bug fix, and documented in the NEWS:
If a file contains data improperly encoded for the current locale,
and this is discovered before any of the file's contents are output,
grep now treats the file as binary.

It would be fine if they would recode their file to use UTF-8, as that
is pretty much a standard encoding these days. Latin-1 files are
getting harder and harder to process, as more people move to multibyte
UTF-8 locales.
