Ryan, I took a look at the problem cited in your bug report. I suggest compiling sys-boot/grub with CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb3", attaching gdb to grub-install and then watching what happens in the debugger. If you compare runs with a GCC 4.5.3 built stage2 and a GCC 4.6.2 built stage2, you should be able to find the bug.
