As near as I can make out from the files you emailed me privately, it's a bug in the MacOS X implementation of egrep (grep -E). Perhaps you can track it down by running the test "by hand", so that we can prevent spurious test failures later, but it's not high priority as it's a problem with the test harness rather than a bug in Autoconf itself.
