--- Comment #1 from Kyle Evans <kevans at freebsd.org> ---
Thanks for the report!

This diff will fix it: https://people.freebsd.org/~kevans/grep-m.diff

We previously took the mcount hit to bail out immediately, this change ensures
that we continue processing lines as non-matches until the -A tail runs out.
i.e., changing your second line from bar to foo and re-running the same
scenario should output the first foo as a match and the second as a non-match
with appropriate delimiter with -n specified.

I will clean this up and add a test to commit it a little later today.
