Bug #650435. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650435 GRUB doesn't have a stable binary ABI. So modules from one version can't be used with another one and not having consistent setup is a bug (usually wrong grub-install invocation) or user misintervention. If it wasn't for this message the loading would have failed for another reason (probably symbol problem). You need to use consistent setup. You can't take a new head and put it on old body, they are not compatible.
