No, it does not. Installing grub to the wrong place because you
manually chose it is not a bug. Installing grub to /dev/sda by
default when your computer actually boots from another drive is also
not a bug, because unfortunately, there simply is no way to detect
which drive the computer boots from due to the limitations of the pc
bios. If grub outright failed to install, then there *may* be a bug.
The installer automatically files a bug report when this happens so
it can be investigated.

"Never happen no matter what" is asking for a magic wand and unicorns.
There are some things we can control, and some we can not.
