Grep says file exists and then doesn't "grep" it

If I type:
    $ grep -e hello -r .
I get:
    grep: .: File exists
and grep doesn't search the contents of any files

If I try compiling it myself from the setup source package (grep-2.5-1) 
this doesn't happen anymore. Grep behaves as expected. Has anybody else 
seen this behaviour?
