I have tried. It didn't work, as I suspected, because the change in grep 
does not seem to check POSIXLY_CORRECT:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/diff/?id=92526f7246464825c5547ceb08e01433e035c867&id2=bfcad04c5ef73c7d78eeff32127ee8e0462307db

But even if it had worked, the exit status of grep when using '-L' is now 
"contaminated"; maybe the same change has been made, or will be made, to 
other non-GNU versions of grep.

Best regards,
Antonio.
