Grep says file exists and then doesn't "grep" it

[Mark Blackburn]

If I type:
$ grep -e hello -r .
I get:
grep: .: File exists
and grep doesn't search the contents of any files

If I try compiling it myself from the setup source package (grep-2.5-1) this doesn't happen anymore. Grep behaves as expected. Has anybody else seen this behaviour?
