I won't claim to understand why it's happening, but I can tell a bit
more about what's happening:
Adding some hacks locally to _run_grubby_get_output, to print out the
parameter arguments and the prepared return value args, I get:
04:01:35 INFO | Writing results to /usr/local/autotest/results/default
04:01:35 INFO | START ---- ---- timestamp=1342080095 localtime=Jul

string, NoneType found
So a couple of questions come to mind:
1) why do we call --version so many times?
2) AFAICT from my debugging, this is all coming from the one call to
get_info(), but I don't see how self.path can be None.
