I would think that the tests in grep should account for both pcre and pcre2, at

Grep currently supports only PCRE. I'd be surprised if it worked with PCRE2.
My test was with PCRE 8.35 with Debian and Ubuntu patches (I'm up-to-date with
Ubuntu 15.10 on x86-64). Yours was with 8.37, I assume with no patches.
Perhaps if I find the time I can try building PCRE 8.37 on Ubuntu 15.10 and see
whether it exhibits the bug, but to be honest I was hoping someone else could
debug this. Perhaps you can try it with 8.35 on linuxfromscratch?
I assume you're doing your test on x86-64? (Sorry, don't recall.)
