Thanks, I understand what you mean now. However, while it would be
nice, GRUB does not currently have a compact encoding of its module ABI
that would allow us to perform such a scan even slightly accurately.
With multiple quantal installations on the same system, since they refer
to each other in their GRUB configuration, I suspect it may take a
couple of alternate runs of update-grub in each installation after
installing my os-prober fix to clear everything out. You might have a
look at grub.cfg after each run to see if you can recognise the
weirdness from this bug.
