No, it is not. The problem here is that people tinker with their
system to get a grub installation that works, yet is broken. Since it
"works", they don't notice it is broken until they upgrade, at which
time, the upgrade updates one part of grub, and not the other, leading
to the error. There is nothing wrong with grub itself; it is entirely
in how it is installed and upgraded.
