After some brief testing, my OSGeoLive 8.5 VM with QGIS 2.6 and Processing 2.9.3, GRASS 7 works.
My QGIS 2.8, GRASS 6/7, Processing 2.10.1 does not. Both are Ubuntu 14.04 based. I'm not sure if this is a bug in Processing, or in packaging. I recall in OSGeoLive 8.5 that we had custom packages with a patch. Note, you can get those versions for your Ubuntu system from https://launchpad.net/~osgeolive/+archive/ubuntu/release-8.5 We freeze a copy of the working versions in our own ppa for long term history.
