Hi Colin, yes, this bug happens for me, too, with the os-prober versions from natty (1.44ubuntu1) and oneiric (1.49ubuntu1), but not from maverick (1.39). Except that the other OS is a Debian Sid and not another Ubuntu. But I don't think this makes a difference here.
Mounting the root as well as the /boot filesystem neither shows a warning about an uncleanly unmounted filesystem. It seems that os-prober works fine, but linux-boot-prober does not. The other Linux on this box has /boot on /dev/sda1 and / on /dev/sda5. linux-boot-prober /dev/sda5 just returns nothing while linux-boot-prober /dev/sda1 finds all kernels, but claims the root filesystem is /dev/sda1 while it is /dev/sda5 as os-prober correctly found out.
