What makes you think grep understands ^ notation to indicate control chars? It doesn't say so in the info page. (It doesn't recognize [\r] either.)
Umm, you're probably jumping to the wrong conclusion about the OP's intent.
He probably meant the literal character ^M, which you have to enter as ^V^M (control-v control-m) on the command line.
And you have to *pipe* the input into grep, not pass in the file as a command line (in textmode mounts, this will cause grep to read the file as a text file).
This works just fine:
cat test.dos.txt | grep 'ld^M$'
*if* you entered ^M on the commnand line as Control-V Control-M.
