I have a similar bug in 10.04 alpha.

I have "GRUB_DEFAULT=saved" set, run update-grub and can see that my grub.cfg file has been generated to use the default entry, but my grub.env file always contains this:

-----
# GRUB Environment Block
saved_entry=
######### (the rest of these deleted)
-----

My system never saves the booted OS entry and therefore always boots the top menu item.

If I change the GRUB_DEFAULT= to a number it will boot that entry correctly.
