The bug mentions it's fixed in 2.10 but that's not completely true, something was fixed, but not everything. Precise ships with 2.10-1 and it still has the bug:

mkdir /tmp/test && cd /tmp/test
echo 1 >1
echo 2 >2

marga@viserion:/tmp/test$ grep . *
1:1
2:2
marga@viserion:/tmp/test$ grep . * --include "1"
2:2
marga@viserion:/tmp/test$ grep . * --include "2"
1:1

The fix is most likely in:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=58195fabc7559541b3736400e08e901011acd61f

This was reported and accepted as broken behaviour in:
