I cannot reproduce this. On a reasonably current installation, this updates grub just fine. But I do have a /boot/grub/ directory; can you check (in the root shell) whether that exists for you?

This is probably related to my using an encrypted lvm partition.

friendly-recovery (0.2.30) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Implement fsck by ourselves instead of letting the boot sequence already
    do that for us. (LP: #1438860)
  * dpkg: Quiesce "file not found" errors in apt cleanup. (LP: #887589)
  * Mount all file systems after fsck (like with mountall under upstart), to
    also cover separate /boot partitions for grub. (LP: #1438862)
