Huh! I didn't know about those gotchas with cat and the backticks (they call out exactly what I was doing there as very very wrong), so thanks for that
Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem though. It's still returning more than one file for each line in my targets.txt
Code:
grep -l -Ff targets.txt *.xml
Radoulov's script did though! I never would have thought about using a while loop in that way. It seems I have much to learn still. Thanks!!

zegrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
