The man page that ships with grep 2.25 says about -z, in its entirety:

     Treat the input as a set of lines, each terminated by a zero
     byte (the ASCII NUL character) instead of a newline.  Like the
     -Z or --null option, this option can be used with commands like
     sort -z to process arbitrary file names.

I'm pleased this appears to be fixed in later releases.
