During the installer grub can be installed onto a partition instead of MBR, however during updates it ignores this installation option and overwrites the MBR? There should be a GRUB_DEVICE setting saved somewhere and checked by the grub update script otherwise having the option in the installer is wrong as it creates a grub installation which is incompatible with ubuntu going forward.

Due to grubs inability to boot truecrypt (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/484102) this bug effects all users of encrypted ubuntu+windows truecrypt systems.
