Apology to Angela Akridge, I claimed that the bug you described was not relevant. Sorry for this, I noticed that you had described the same problem.
Anyway, may guess is simply that the "--force-lba" option may be needed in some script, and in that case it could possible be experienced as a bug even though it wouldn't really be a bug in grub but in the bios then...
