Recent versions of grep (at least on my Debian system) report this as
an invalid expression for the reasons already noted by others.  Here
using your verbatim pattern (with the invalid \- \. escaping):

  $ grep -Eo '[0-9a-f]{32}/[0-9A-Za-z\-%_\.]+' /dev/null
  grep: Invalid range end

Updating would add this improved validation reporting capability. :-)
