It works fine for me:

p4-7088:~grep power.*wait /etc/inittab
pf::powerwait:/etc/init.d/powerfail start
po::powerokwait:/etc/init.d/powerfail stop
p4-7088:~dpkg -l pcregrep

ii  pcregrep   7.2-1  grep utility that uses perl 5 
compatible reg

p4-7088:~

Please send me the input you used to get the error message and I will 
investigate. Until then there's not a lot I can do.

Dunno whether it is related but you might want to know that:
 severity 238237 serious
Bug#238237: grep: -P option doesn't work.
Bug#318680: grep doesn't support -P
Bug#364998: grep: once again, -P flag doesn't work
Severity set to `serious' from `normal'

Cheers,
