It looked to me like it was global, too, but ":help cursorline" says
that it's local to the window. What's happening is that new windows
inherit at least some of the settings of the windows from which they
are created.
If you wanted to set 'cursorline' when doing :grep, you could use
this autocommand:
au QuickFixCmdPre * set cursorline
I haven't found a way to automatically turn the 'cursorline' off
when the quickfix window is closed, though.
