I have the same issue after a clean install of Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 32-bit.
Filesystem is ext4 for / on sda2 and swap on sda6.
I installed grub into partition sda2 using blocklist.

Sometimes I get error message 'maleformed file',
sometimes 3x 'file not found',
sometimes no error message.

Boot continues successfully in all cases. I may, but don't need press any key.

There are more independent operating systems on this disk.
A Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit with / on sda3 and own GRUB in its partition boots always without error message.
