I've checked on 8.0 and GNU grep doesn't output anything either for me. 
If you use tail -f, you will enter more lines and end it with EOF, won't 
you? And then BSD grep will process the input and print out matches. I 
don't think it's bad behaviour in itself but if you can explain why you 
think it's bad I'm willing to change it.

Thanks for your comment,
