Recently encountered this, and I turned up this page while searching for
solutions, and I hate to turn this into a "forum" post but I wanted to
leave this here for anyone else beating their head against the wall over
this.

I still see this (or very similar errors) on 13.10, with / on btrfs
(multidevice sda3 sdb3) and /boot on devicemapper raid1 (sda2 and
sdb2). Since my symptoms look cosmetical only, I haven't tried deleting
anything in /etc/grub.d.
