This solves the problem for me in natty:
[/etc/default/grub]:
GRUB_BACKGROUND="<path to grub.png>"
And then run update-grub.
You'll see the image as soon as grub starts, and it will stay on the
screen until X starts (or plymouth, whichever comes first).
This solution almost seems too perfect and simple (?!)
