Installed Grub2. Skipped the chain-loading thing... and apparently avoided any 
bugs in the install process (if there are any of those left).
That went without a hitch, but it does not fix the problem on my machine. 
What happens now...

1) Cold restart...  after the initial Toshiba screen, Toshiba's bios-based boot 
options disappear... some subtle screen anomalies appear (in the word 
"Toshiba") as it sits for about ten seconds.
(I believe this is because I changed the wait-to-boot-default value to 10sec... 
I should probably note that menuhide is also disabled in my menu.lst file)

2) Default Ubuntu loads

I believe Grub2 is loading but is not appearing on the screen, so that's
a video issue of some kind there.

Interestingly, I can also reproduce this:
1) Cold restart... sits for 10 seconds
2) During the 10 seconds power off
3) Power back on, Grub2 loads
