Then you have not built the motif version with the same sources, or 
they are
using different lisp files.  It is highly unlikely that lisp errors 
depend
on the toolkit used.
I see the error with GTK, Motif, Lucid, no toolkit, no X and on Mac OSX
so it is a lisp problem.

If you remove the progmodes/grep.elc file in the installed lisp 
directory,
things work OK.  There is obviously a problem with compiling grep.el,
but what is is I don't know.
