This is exactly the difference. git log --grep matches individual lines (like grep), whereas :/<regexp> matches against the whole commit message including embedded (and trailing) newlines, and $ doesn't match an embedded newline. Thus to address the second commit in your example you have to use $':/^My commit\n' (using bash's ANSI-C quoting feature).
