Improved how?  Can you suggest how to distinguish between ":39:" and
":13:" in the Grep output, when searching where the file name ends and
the line number and the following test starts?

Do the problems go away if you use "M-x occur" instead?  If so,
perhaps that's a better solution for such file names.
