This seems to be fixed by:

 69619  sthibault # Due notably to potential USB sticks, the location of the MBR can not be
 69619  sthibault # determined safely in general, so this needs to be specified:
 69619  sthibault #d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string /dev/sda
 69619  sthibault # To install to the first device (assuming it is not a USB stick):
 69619  sthibault #d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string default

(svn blame en/appendix/preseed.xml in the manual; confirmed by looking
at the website now.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
