Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
$ echo 'bbbbbaaa' | grep -o 'b\{1,3\}a'
bbba
$ echo 'bbbbbaaa' | grep -o 'b\{1, 3\}a'
grep: Invalid content of \{\}
$ echo 'bbbbbaaa' | egrep -o 'b{1,3}a'
bbba
$ echo 'bbbbbaaa' | egrep -o 'b{1, 3}a'
$ echo 'bbb{1, 3}aa' | LC_ALL=C egrep -o 'b{1, 3}a'
b{1, 3}a
I.e. grep raises error and egrep chooses silent verbatim meaning. I don't know
what any standards say about this.
