Yes, annoyingly my Wheezy netboot disc was miles away, so I burned
another, I still had the iso laying around. I think it's a bit hairy to
chroot with a different kernel, but I got away with it for long enough
to run a couple of dpkg downgrades, and carefully avoided doing
anything unnecessary. I needed grub-pc-bin and another, presumably
grub-common, to boot (I was informed that grub-pc-bin could not be
configured without the other, whichever it was) and once it booted I
checked for other 2.02~beta2.7 items and downgraded them also.

Mine is 741652, but I had previously found 741464 which refers to a boot
problem with grub 2.02~beta2.7. It's not the same problem but I thought
the same treatment was worth a try, as I could see from the dates that
the upgrade had just occurred on my system.

OK, though if it's now affecting jessie, I'd expect to see more people
catching it. But even today,
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=grub-pc-bin&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
is returning 2.00-22 for jessie. Possibly a good thing, as if you don't
have the older version in your cache, it's much easier to get from
jessie than by poking around in the snapshots. I don't clear my sid
cache very often...
