This is still broken, and it's quite a serious matter because when I
upgrade the machine (which sometimes overwrites /boot/grub/grub.cfg) and
reboot, I lose access to it.  It can't boot unless someone is physically
present with the machine, who can remove the lines

recordfail=1
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi

from the boot script.  Frequently, there's nobody where the machine is,
so it remains totally useless, while chewing up watt-hours, with "Error:
sparse file not allowed" displayed on the console.

Is there something I can do to help debug this mystery?  I'd be happy to
do what I can to help!
