I haven't been able to reproduce this with a current precise daily in my
tests in a hacked-up virtual machine: I gave it two disks, /dev/sda and
/dev/sdb, installed a stunt version of udevadm that substitutes
ID_BUS=usb for any ID_BUS= line, and told the installer to automatically
partition the whole of /dev/sdb.  It correctly installed the boot loader
to /dev/sdb, and the resulting system boots when given only /dev/sdb as
a disk.
