>(it works fine with `expr %t + 19` replaced with just %t)

IIRC, we had a discussion about this before.  Your backticks aren't 
getting interpolated (probably because grip doesn't invoke a shell to 
run the encoder?)  One way to test would be with a wrapper script that 
just echo's its arguments to /tmp/args and see what is coming out.  I'm 
guessing that the backticks go through as literals.

Does ${expr %t + 19} work?

I think the work-around is to call a wrapper script instead.  Check the 
list archives.
