Julian, maybe it is on http://packages.debian.org/grep

OK, thanks for the further info.
I don't think this is a bug in GNU Grep itself, but maybe is a bug introduced
by one of the patches that Debian apply to their package of Grep. You might
want to report it to Debian.
It has just occurred to me that, because the byte 0x80 is not a valid UTF-8
string (as far as I know), when Grep is asked to search for a pattern
consisting of only that byte, in a UTF-8 locale, the behaviour could be
expected to be undefined. Therefore other people might not regard this as a bug.
