14.04 install fails trying to install grub on install media

[Derry Bryson]

When installing 14.04 server, the installation program attempts to install the grub boot loader on the install media and not the target disk. I have the installation iso written on to a usb key using the Universal USB Installer program. I boot with the key installed and a single hard disk (the target). When the install environment comes up the USB key is on /dev/sda and the target disk is on /dev/sdb. When the installer gets to installing grub, it tries to install it on /dev/sda and fails.
