There is another issue with grub.cfg on Wubi. Not on the initial install but after running update-grub. I created a new bug 738345 under lupin, but realised it's not the lupin script after all, but grub that must be causing it. I wanted to mention it here as I have no idea how to assign a bug to

This isn't so much a bug in Wubi - this is the normal action. If you run it the first time it prompts to install. When you run it after installing, it prompts to uninstall first. So the bug is that ubiquity is placing Wubi in the Windows startup programs list and there's no way to remove it
