i do not know for sure, but I would guess that it will.  The tablet runs busybox (or some derivative, I am not sure) so that the tools like grep are not really there, rather, they are linked to the busybox executable itself.  What usually happens is that these tools only have a rudimientary amount of functionality as compared to their full counterparts.

As I mentioned, I have not played with development for the tablets, but I read a lot of maemo-users posts  :)  
You can install the maemo SDK on your own machine and play with it that way, but these images have been created to "get you going" as quickly as possible.  I would try them first.

hope that helps,
K
