Same problem using the 20121212-7 debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso daily
image written to a USB drive.

The screen is scrambled, but pressing 'c' and blindly typing
"terminal_output=console" overlays a working grub prompt.  From there, I
can see that gfxmode is still set to "auto".  Setting it to any of the
supported resolutions (1366x768x32, 640x480x32, 800x600x32, 1024x768x32)
then calling "terminal_output gfxterm" brings up the expected Debian
graphic behind the Grub command prompt.

Was I testing the right image?
