Ah, maybe not. Sorry, should have been clearer - please check the
"sid" variant:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/20121213-3/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
If you've tested the "wheezy" netinst, that will have an older d-i
build on it. The grub.cfg file is generated using data from d-i,
including video mode.
