Right, I'd forgotten about this particular bug report (there were others ...). This has indeed been fixed as Charles describes.
gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (0.5.3) hardy; urgency=low
* Rename "Start or install $PROJECT" to "Try $PROJECT without any change
to your computer"; "Install in text mode" to "Install $PROJECT in text
mode"; "Install to the hard disk" to "Install $PROJECT"; and "Memory
test" to "Test memory". See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyBootloaderReview for context.
* Allow the boot parameters line to occupy the full width of the screen
(LP: #27676) and handle redraws on language change better.
* Allow menu options to use more horizontal space, and centre them on the
screen.
* Implement "label NAME", "append NAME", "replace NAME", and "applies
NAME" options in gfxboot.cfg. These are used to implement a new Modes
menu, which replaces the video menu on F4. The intent is that that this
should reduce the bewildering array of top-level menu options, while
still allowing the less usual options to be selected easily. Many
strings have been changed accordingly.
* Display a message at the bottom of the menu to indicate that alternative
modes may be selected using F4.
* Fix glitch in translate function that sometimes left the original string
on the stack.
