If I open a new window, read into it the results of a grep command,
e.g.,
:r !grep -nH somepattern somefileset
and then try to use that buffer as a quickfix list or location list
with either the :cb or :lb commands, respectively, I get
E37: No write since last change (add ! to override)
If I then try to add ! to the :cb or :lb commands, I get
E477: No ! allowed
It seems to me that the :cb and :lb commands are missing the ability
to handle a !.
The most recent version of vim I had to verify this with was
7.0.178.

If what you want to do with the output of grep is use it as a quickfix error
list, then use ":grep" or ":lgrep" instead of ":r !grep". Or you can also use
":vimgrep" or ":lvimgrep" for internal grep (with Vim-style regexps).
See ":help grep".

Tony.
