I just discovered `grep-error-screen-columns', a defcustom
added in 2004. Its default value is nil, so I suppose
its purpose was to override `compilation-error-screen-columns'.
It's currently unused because it misses the following lines
in `grep-mode':
(set (make-local-variable 'compilation-error-screen-columns)
grep-error-screen-columns)
I added that to `grep-mode'.

Yes, this is better. I installed these changes.
Beside `grep-error-screen-columns', I discovered two more unused defcustoms
in grep.el:
(defcustom grep-window-height nil
"*Number of lines in a grep window. If nil, use `compilation-window-height'."
:type '(choice (const :tag "Default" nil)
integer)
:version "22.1"
:group 'grep)
(defcustom grep-scroll-output nil
"*Non-nil to scroll the *grep* buffer window as output appears.
Setting it causes the grep commands to put point at the end of their
output window so that the end of the output is always visible rather
than the begining."
:type 'boolean
:version "22.1"
:group 'grep)
IIUC, since the docstring says "If nil, use `compilation-window-height'"
they should be used in `grep-mode' only when the value is non-nil like:
(when grep-window-height
(set (make-local-variable 'compilation-window-height)
grep-window-height))
(when grep-scroll-output
(set (make-local-variable 'compilation-scroll-output)
grep-scroll-output))
