Comment 8 for bug 1318568

In my case this interferes with kernel installations. Post-installation tries to update grub but the process fails and any subsequent steps are skipped. The way around this is to remove grub-common, install the new kernel and install grub again. Of course grub does not generate a grub.cfg file. The grub installation fails with the same error.
