(Get the code!)
OK, I'm sure I'm the last person in the world that anyone wants to hear from but here I am :^)
I was wrong about the drive being the only commonality, the other was the file system:
lance@lance-
Model: ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 21.5GB 21.5GB primary ext3 boot
2 21.5GB 42.9GB 21.5GB primary ext3
3 42.9GB 96.2GB 53.3GB primary ext3
4 236GB 500GB 264GB extended
13 236GB 258GB 22.0GB logical ext4

Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

As you can see I'm still using ext3 with all of my "stable" OS's, but I'd used ext4 with all of my test installs on /dev/sdb. The proposed "grub" upgrades resulted in bug #529338 only on the OS's that used ext3.
I tried a test install of Lucid on /dev/sda13 w/ext4 and can NOT duplicate that behavior, does that make sense?
As a developer can you somewhat easily contact everyone that's encountered bug #529338 about the file system used?
My time is limited right now but I do plan on repeating some of these tests to verify what exactly is going wrong. I think next I'll try an ext3 Lucid install on sdb1 (which is vacant) and see what happens. Then maybe another ............. arrgh, just not sure.
I would not be so aggressive about this if I didn't feel it were necessary to move this great update from "proposed" to "stable" ASAP. The first point release of Lucid is creeping up quickly ;^)
