I am not claiming that Cygwin is a pure Windows platform, but having to run everything through d2u (or tr -d ‘\r’) hardly makes cygwin usable to write platform agnostic scripts, right?
It is a regression from 2.27-2 version of the package:
$ grep --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.27

$ echo -e 'foo\r\n' | grep -a 'foo$'
foo
$
And it also it contradicts from the documentation (manpage) bundled with the version.
I think it’s reasonable to classify this as a bug.
