I just tested this on Cygwin and Fedora 21, both with grep 2.21:

  $ cat x.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  echo ${0##*/}
  $ grep -Pl '\x30' x.sh
  x.sh
  $ grep -Pl '\x0a' x.sh
  $=20

Same result on both systems, so it finds characters in lines, but not
the line separator itself.  If that worked before, this looks like an
upstream change to me.

A bit of digging shows this thread on the bug-grep mailing list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2015-03/msg00015.html

And indeed, if I add a NUL byte to the file and search for it:

 $ grep -Pl '\x0' x.sh
 $ grep -aPl '\x0' x.sh
 x.sh

This does not work for the CR or LF, though.  You may want to discuss
this on the bug-grep ML.
