   unless I missed a response, so far all that's been demonstrated is that a
   newer version of GNU grep doesn't behave the same as other versions of
   grep.

I don't even see where that has been demonstrated.
Perhaps the problem was due to a misinstalled version of GNU grep.

autoconf can't survive systems where grep and egrep have been interchanged.
There's no point trying to work around bugs like that.
