OK, I'm sure I'm the last person in the world that anyone wants to hear
from but here I am :^)

I was wrong about the drive being the only commonality, the other was
the file system:

la...@lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted /dev/sda print
Model: ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

 9      498GB   500GB   2517MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)

la...@lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print
Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
 1      32.3kB  19.4GB  19.4GB  primary   ext2
 3      19.4GB  38.8GB  19.4GB  primary   ext4
 2      38.8GB  80.0GB  41.2GB  extended

As you can see I'm still using ext3 with all of my "stable" OS's, but
I'd used ext4 with all of my test installs on /dev/sdb. The proposed
"grub" upgrades resulted in bug #529338 only on the OS's that used ext3.

I tried a test install of Lucid on /dev/sda13 w/ext4 and can NOT
duplicate that behavior, does that make sense?

As a developer can you somewhat easily contact everyone that's
encountered bug #529338 about the file system used?

My time is limited right now but I do plan on repeating some of these
tests to verify what exactly is going wrong. I think next I'll try an
ext3 Lucid install on sdb1 (which is vacant) and see what happens. Then
maybe another ............. arrgh, just not sure.

I would not be so aggressive about this if I didn't feel it were
necessary to move this great update from "proposed" to "stable" ASAP.
The first point release of Lucid is creeping up quickly ;^)
