Rumor has it that grep 2.6.3 fixes this behavior. Could the grep maintainer build a new version, please?

On a text mode mount, we have the file foo which has \r\n line endings. If I do grep -i line foo|od -cd then the output shows proper \r\n line endings. However, if I do grep -i line foo >foo.out od -cd foo.out then the line endings are \r\r\n. See attached files. This works fine on binary mounts.
