I have just found the same problem in Gutsy. I have a cut down, compact flash installation of Gutsy, which I am duplicating using dd. I wanted to use root=/dev/hda1 rather than UUID because I was worried that UUID might not be same on each duplicated machine. I couldn't use /dev/sda1 because the via82cxxx IDE chipset still seems to represent block devices as hda1 etc.

I've just realised though, that UUID isn't related to the device, but to the formatted file system so it can be used in dd duplicated machines.

I still agree though, with above posters; update-grub shouldn't interfere with the human editable kopt lines in menu.lst.
