Discussions went round and round... finally tried viewing the contents of file: "cat (hdX,Y)/boot/grub/grubenv" via the Grub shell and the correct "Windows ..." string was in the file. So the problem I think must be in Grub reading that file and/or selecting the correct partition from the boot menu list.
Since conversation has ceased in the forum, opening a bug report against what we have encountered.
We have loaded several systems with Ubuntu 9.10 dual-boot, want to configure all of them to utilize "saved" last boot choice. Then only way I have found to get a different default than Ubuntu is to force the default to be Windows and that does work.
Binary package hint: grub
