(Get the code!)
Based on the description of how the problem arises - Ubuntu 17.10 installed on a system booted in legacy mode, not in UEFI mode, and the problem showing up only after upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 when Ubuntu 17.04 was running fine - it is likely that any problems here are in the Linux kernel rather than in the bootloader. When booting in BIOS mode instead of UEFI mode, the grub package does not do anything that touches firmware settings; and there have been no relevant changes to the grub code when booting in BIOS mode, between 17.04 and 17.10.
Therefore reassigning this bug to the kernel.
