Reindl is using fgrep (implied by the -F flag), so I would think \n is
interpreted literally. I would agree with your suggestion to use
$ grep -E "<?$"
Another recommendation would be to use -print0 and pipe to xargs -0.
Using the -exec flag for something like this might be significantly less
efficient.
