with a little help from Scraze: from 'man grep', 'Character Classes and Bracket Expressions': "For example, in the default C locale, [a-d] is equivalent to [abcd]. Many locales sort characters in dictionary order, and in these locales [a-d] is typically not equivalent to [abcd]; it might be equivalent to [aBbCcDd], for example." - it's a locales thing! indeed it is. echo "export LANG=C" >> ~/.profile and all is better again.
