Sorry, just realized my previous reply didn’t get posted. The GRUB build I’m using is compiled straight from the current git repository. It might be a week or two old, but unless something really changed in the last two to three weeks I don’t think it’ll differ. I can try an older release of GRUB, like the latest stable and see if that does anything though.
