I can confirm (with second hand knowledge) that you can indeed dodge a grenade you threw (or at least dropped) at your own feet. However, in that case you are actually attacking the ground with a thrown object, and then (after a couple seconds delay) the grenade makes a AoE attack on itself (which it, incidentally, cannot dodge).

However, I Dodge (accidental) attacks on myself all the time. Somewhat butterfingered, and have finally trained myself not to make catching parries of dropped knives.
