It seems like the problem is in the handoff from refit to grub, since I cannot
get to a grub screen by holding down the shift when the machine is in "I want
to hang" mode.  No shift is necessary after the failed boot because the grub
screen automatically comes up, and when it does, it will always boot.

So I'm not sure the recommendations on that wiki page are useful, since they
all assume you can get to the grub screen.

Thanks!

FWIW, from the "About rEFIt" page:

rEFIt Version 0.14
Running on:
    EFI Revision 1.10
    Platform x86 (32 bit)
    Firmware: Apple 8192.01
    Screen Output: UGA Draw (EFI 1.10), 1440x900

So this should even be the latest version of refit.
