I believe I (as a novice even) agree that it is not a bug.  But I
don't think the reason is being well described.  To GRUB, the
correct path to your file is _not_ /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst but
rather (hd2,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst.  This is true whether you are
booting or running from with Linux with the GRUB shell.

The thing in the previous comments that should tip you off about
this is where they say "GRUB doesn't care about where things are
mounted" or something similar.

That some particular path is hard-coded need not be considered a
bug in any event.  You may consider it the default path (if that
is how it is used) for menu.lst since you have the option of
changing the path with the "install" command.

If my understanding of the problem is too shallow for these
comments to be correct and lucid, I apologize.  I have not looked
into the code, so my understanding is shallow indeed.
