Look for "only_matching" and "match_icase" in src/grep.c.

If you are willing to help fix this, please go to the GNU Savannah project home 
page for Grep, at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/grep/ and check out the 
latest source code from CVS, and in the bug and patch databases there you will 
find things like a previous attempt to fix it, and some tests for this behaviour.

We will be glad to discuss your ideas and progress on this mailing list.
