This is not new to us.
The bug is actually very strange because the initrd command is in
linux.mod.
And so you shouldn't have the `linux' command either.
Anyway did you upgrade the package from a previous version without
running grub-install?
IIRC running grub-install fixed this for everyone who had this.
Else try the karmic package and run grub-install with that.

If Felix' hypothesis is correct, then it's probably the old problem of the installed core.img getting out of sync with /boot/grub. This was generally caused by the problem described in bug 496435, which is now fixed in Lucid.
