Thanks for the report.
That's failing because you lack a French UTF8 locale,
and the test did not handle that case properly.
It's fixed by this patch:
tests: avoid spurious test failure due to lack of a French UTF8 locale
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=189913f75b39f3
Though note that there's a more serious bug that's been fixed
since 2.6.1:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=54d55bba41f2ff316
and at least one other that hasn't been fixed in version control yet.
