I have pretty much the same problem.  It's all dark grey magic (read:  
something I never worked on...[(-:]) to me too.

However, I'm not sure this is directly grub related.  In fact, given  
that it also occurs on PowerPC with the Yaboot bootloader (quite un- 
grub-like) and with lilo on x86 (also fairly un-grub-like), I'd say it  
has to do with the code that finds other operating systems and the way  
it notifies the code that builds the boot-loader config files...

Does that help any?
