with a little help from Scraze:
 from 'man grep', 'Character Classes and Bracket Expressions': "For example, in the default C locale, [a-d] is equivalent to [abcd].  Many locales sort characters in dictionary order, and in these locales [a-d] is typically not equivalent to [abcd]; it might be equivalent to [aBbCcDd], for example." - it's a locales thing!

indeed it is.
  echo "export LANG=C" >> ~/.profile
and all is better again.
