Already fixed, in the development version 2.5.1.

This was probably bug in the test script, you can safely ignore it.
Both of these are already fixed, in the development version 2.5.1.

cannot create file---it seems to be a flaw in your setup, like
exceeding quota or running in read-only directory.

I'm not a grep developer, but I guess you can safely continue with the
version you have.

If you are interested in new achievements, you can try the test version:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-2.5.1.tar.gz
or grep-2.5.1.tar.bz2 or grep-2.5.1-1.src.rpm
