Maybe something else to think about is that I'm currently running
Lenny, but added repositories for Sid to update Grub2 (only).

Hmm,

The numbering is OK, it should be 1, if your windows partition is the
1st primary one.

The only thing I can think of, is that I'm running on intel, and
you're running on amd apparently.  I imagine the binaries are
different, but beyond that the versions seem OK [1] [2].  But that's
my last desperate guess.  Maybe someone else might try to provide
input for either processor, and confirm is things work for him/her.  I
can just confirm things work for me with the work around indicated...
