I agree. This stuff all looks fine.

There's an easy way to check this listed in the bug report... compare the 
md5sum of the 'active' stage2 against the original:

open a shell, 'su' to superuser permissions and:

'cd /boot/grub'
'md5sum stage2'
(my result: 66797a774c25457f3b5e7c7f0920db9f  stage2)
'md5sum /usr/lib/grub/stage2'
(my result: 66797a774c25457f3b5e7c7f0920db9f  /usr/lib/grub/stage2)

If they *don't* match, you can always try the bug OP's workaround ("Copying 
the last stage2 to /boot/grub worked around the problem.")

First, rename /boot/grub/stage2:

'mv stage2 stage2-broken'

Then copy /usr/lib/grub/stage2 into /boot/grub:

'cp /usr/lib/grub/stage2 stage2'

Note: the md5sum, mv and cp commands, above, presume that your present working 
directory remains /boot/grub/

Worth a shot, don't you think?

Good luck & regards,

Carl
