The next revision of POSIX (code-named Issue 8; POSIX 2008 is Issue 7)
will require support for $'\xXX', but you are correct that POSIX does
not require 'printf \xXX'.  So we should definitely fix this one.

Sorry, that one seems spurious.  The grep test framework is borrowing
from gnulib's tests/init.sh, which should already be re-exec'ing under a
shell that supports $().
