So I'm afraid that reporting this bug already exposes your mail address. I'm alays puzzled by people wanting to hide their mail address.

You don't explain us what you exactly did at the GRUB installation step. Did you leave the default choices or did you something weird like asking to install GRUB on hda4? If you did the latter, then what you see is expected....the grub-installer did not touch the GRUB install on the MBR, which is still the one you see booting. This GRUB points to /dev/hda3 as root...which hasn't been touched by the installer and of course does not offer hda4 as an option. If you leave the *default* GRUB option to install on /dev/hda (ie the MBR), then a new GRUB will be installed on the MBR and it will use /dev/hda4 as root....and will offer the 3 choices, I guess.
