That grep and similar Posix utilities do not understand \t.  Instead,
use \011 (the octal code for tab):

$ grep -v '\011' o.csv > o-out.csv

You need to put the \011 in single quotes, otherwise the shell will interpret
the \0 sequence as equivalent to simple 0.

But no living man am I!  You look upon a woman.  Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter.
You stand between me and my lord and kin.  Begone, if you be not deathless.
For living or dark undead, I will smite you if you touch him.
