The intent of showing the message "Binary file xyz matches" for binary files is to avoid annoying users by potentially messing up their terminals by printing control characters. In --count mode, this precaution isn't necessary. Display counts of matches if -c/--count was specified, even if -a was not given. GNU grep does the same.
