Look:

$ grep aaa <<- EOF || echo "not found"
> bbb
> ccc
> EOF
not found
$ grep aaa <<- EOF || echo "not found"
> bbb
> ccc
> EOF
> EOF
not found

Note that the shell ignores the "EOF" if it has leading whitespace.
My guess is that the closing "EOF" should probably go right at the beginning
of the line. See eg app-text/htp/htp-1.15.ebuild, which uses a similar
construct.
