I can confirm this bug happens in UTF-8 locales.

This case fails:
$ echo Y | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -i '[y]'
$

And this one works as expected:
$ echo Y | LC_ALL=C grep -i '[y]'
Y
$

The patch 66-match_icase.patch is supposed to make the case-insensitive searches work in non-UTF-8 locales, but it appears not to be working (maybe it's not being applied at all?).
