I'm not sure why it's supposed to pass, actually.  -G makes the pattern be a basic regex and basic regexen don't recognize the + repetition operator.
expecting success: 
	echo ab:aab >expected &&
	git grep -E -F -G a\\+b >actual &&
	test_cmp expected actual

--- expected 2011-05-25 03:19:05.000000000 +0000 +++ actual 2011-05-25 03:19:05.000000000 +0000
