Yes, this is indeed puzzling. /usr/bin/grep /usr/bin/[ef]grep are
certainly different files. diff reports them as different, but I
don't know how trustworthy diff is on binary files.

It seems hard links behave the way you expect:
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> touch filea
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> echo Booo > filea
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> ln filea fileb
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> ls -li file[ab]
1117037 -rw-r--r-- 2 ettore wheel 5 Dec 19 23:17 filea
1117037 -rw-r--r-- 2 ettore wheel 5 Dec 19 23:17 fileb
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> cat fileb
Booo
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> rm filea
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> ls -li fileb
1117037 -rw-r--r-- 1 ettore wheel 5 Dec 19 23:17 fileb
ubik:/tmp/501/Temporary Items> cat fileb
Booo
This is on a Tibook with everything on HFS+.
