Since texi2dvi is not fixing a locale this is clearly a bug that you
should report.  It should use character classes instead.  Why your
version of egrep complains about the range expression is not clear to me
(it may be locale dependent behaviour, but not syntactically an invalid
range expression), but you could check LC_COLLATE if "z" gets sorted
before "A".  I have an older version of egrep that will simply ignore
the range in this case and never match, but it certainly doesn't throw
an error.  Maybe this was changed to weed out bad regex's... :-)

I'd be wary of that, too.  If anything you might precede just the call to
egrep by "LC_ALL=C".
