This seems to be a bug. Steps to reproduce:
• Start GNU Emacs with -Q.
• call “rgrep”. Search for anything.
• You get the following result:

FIND: Parameter format not correct

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --no-opt --cflags -Ic:/xpm/include'
I'm also running Cygwin for the unix util grep.
It appears, that the problem is because emacs is calling cmd.exe's
grep, not cygwin. Perhaps `grep-compute-defaults' should know about
it.

This is Windows find.exe, which is a completely different program,
getting confused over the way Emacs calls it.
You need to change your Path to have the ported GNU find.exe earlier
on Path than C:\WINDOWS\system32 (or wherever the Windows program
lives), or rename the GNU find.exe to something like gfind.exe and
customize Emacs to call that instead.
I'm closing this bug, because its reason is your system
configuration. Emacs cannot do anything about that, it just calls the
first find.exe it finds along your Path.

The problem is with `find', not with `grep'.

grep-compute-defaults has nothing to do with the problem, so it cannot
fix it.
