Yes, this is definitely due to a BSD grep bug.  The depcomp tests
create a file sub/conftest.Po, containing:

========================================================================
sub/conftest.o: sub/conftest.c sub/conftst1.h sub/conftst2.h \
    sub/conftst3.h sub/conftst4.h sub/conftst5.h sub/conftst6.h

sub/conftst1.h:

sub/conftst2.h:

sub/conftst3.h:

sub/conftst4.h:

sub/conftst5.h:

sub/conftst6.h:
========================================================================

Then it runs "grep sub/conftest.o sub/conftest.Po", which fails with BSD
grep, and succeeds with GNU grep.

BSD grep does something very strange here:

$ echo 'foo.bar' | grep foo.bar
foo.bar
$ echo 'foo.barx' | grep foo.bar
foo.barx
$ echo 'sub/foo.bar' | grep sub/foo.bar
sub/foo.bar
$ echo 'sub/foo.barx' | grep sub/foo.bar
$ echo $?
1

So why does it not match in the last case?  GNU grep works:

$ echo 'sub/foo.barx' | gnugrep sub/foo.bar
sub/foo.barx
