Boot-repair must be done from the same boot of the livecd you used to
install.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Toby Corkindale (tjc-wintrmute)]

This bug is still present in 13.10 "Saucy".

The problem seems to be because update-grub calls grub-mkconfig, which polls btrfs to find out the physical devices underlying the filesystem -- and grub replies with TWO devices, because it's configured as raid1. However passing both devices to grub-setup causes errors, especially because they are separated by a newline.
