Of course it could be a bug *shrug*. But are you booting the Mac CSM-BIOS mode? Or EFI mode? I've only tested it in CSM-BIOS mode and it did work on model MacbookPro 4,1 (2008). I haven't tested it EFI mode. Only very recent versions of GRUB 2 full have all the Red Hat produced EFI patches from GRUB Legacy rolled into it (by very recent I mean just in the last few months - and I'm not sure if even Ubuntu 12.10 has these) so I'd consider anything non-recent to be unreliable for Mac EFI booting.
