AFAICT you're the only one having such an issue with the mount/umount dance (it might be suboptimal as far as “performances” are concerned, but that's certainly not serious); having that issue with grub-installer, which already got a fix-or-workaround in the meanwhile, makes me think it's nowhere like a serious bug. Downgrading accordingly. Mraw, KiBi.
