I cannot reproduce this, but I'm not on macOS.
We made a change in msterm.m between Emacs 29.1 and Emacs 29.2, which
might be responsible for this: we now set the Emacs locale
differently. But I'm not sure what you see means there's a bug in
Emacs, because it could well be a bug in Grep that you have on macOS;
for example, this page:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19242275/re-error-illegal-byte-sequence-on-mac-os-x
clearly hints that this might be the case, and that setting LANG=C is
indeed the right solution for this.
