That seems like a good bet, I didn't think to try rebooting twice.

So, are you saying that that command writes over previous contents in the MBR so for instance if in Fedora right now I did $ sudo update-grub, it would write over the Trisquel grub-update result I'm using now? And is it possible to install two OSes without bootloaders and depend on a third with grub to do the os-probe and be able to configure boot up options for all three?

Maybe even install grub as a stand alone, then do subsequent installs in a way that doesn't disturb the installed grub, and every time you boot it does os-probe and updates itself. I did see the man pages for grub numbered into the 30s so maybe you can even make it stand on it's head and spit green nickels if you know how.
