@colin,
I've noticed cases where grub is being installed to windows partitions
again. Not sure if related to the current wubi probs but thought I'd
mention it. It's a little different than the old one that used to refer
to partition #256. e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1603958
Extracts from bootinfoscript (fyi /dev/sda is a USB stick):
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb and looks on the same drive in
partition #5 for /boot/grub.
...
sdb5:
