Actually, it looks like a bash issue.

$ cat myfunc.txt
#!/bin/bash

myfunc () {

grep aaa <<- EOF || echo "not found"
bbb
cc
ddd
EOF

}

$ source ./myfunc.txt
$ export -f myfunc
$ env
[snip]
myfunc=() { grep aaa <<-EOF
bbb
cc
ddd
EOF
|| echo "not found"
}

$ bash
bash: myfunc: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `||'
bash: myfunc: line 5: ` || echo "not found"'
bash: error importing function definition for `myfunc'

Ah well. Let's hope it will be fixed in some upcoming bash version, then...
