The best solution would be to fix gnulib on the Debian side, IMHO.
I wonder whether other packages are affected too.

BTW, the grep commit that updated the bundled gnulib:

diff --git a/gnulib b/gnulib
index c2a5953..2e671b8 160000
--- a/gnulib
+++ b/gnulib
@@ -1 +1 @@
-Subproject commit c2a5953f179814dd0f4b7e627aae9a009181ed6a
+Subproject commit 2e671b84c8ec5426aee37f4a6656d531929ee430

So, if I understand correctly, the fix in gnulib appeared between
these two commits. But I don't see which change could affect the
result. I could try to investigate.

Knowing the real problem would allow one to make sure that this
is not a bug that is temporarily hidden.
