Well, if your shell's built-in echo doesn't grok newlines, then /usr/ 
bin/printf works, as Daniel suggested.  But using /bin/sh and a  
multiline statement as you suggest shows the exact same problem:

% echo 'fee
 > fi
 > foe
 > fum' | ./grep -v fi
% echo 'fee
 > fi
 > foe
 > fum' | /usr/bin/grep -v fi
fee
foe
fum

(I'm much more interested in confirming whether the bug I see in BSD  
grep is reproducible by others than debating how to get real newlines  
from various shells.)
