[SOLVED] bash: $'\302\240grep': command not found [frequent CLI error]

Question

For the past several days I've been getting the following error frequently on the command line:
bash: $'\302\240grep': command not found
I think I'm only getting this error in response to commands that are piped to grep, such as the following:
$ ps -ef | grep xyz
or
$ locate | grep abc
However, I don't think I've gotten the error if I type the same commands as above, but without the space between '|' and 'grep'.  And, although the error is frequent, it doesn't happen every time; it is seemingly random.
Anybody else experiencing this?  Any idea what might be causing it? 
I'm using rxvt-unicode as my terminal.
