I'd thought there might be some special grub handling in ubuntu-release-upgrader but I also tried an upgrade by modifying my /etc/apt/sources.list to change lunar to mantic and then running 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and still encountered the same crash. Additionally, the file '/etc/grub.d/10_linux' starts with the following:
bdmurray@clean-lunar-amd64:~$ head -n10 /etc/grub.d/10_linux
#! /bin/sh
set -e
# grub-mkconfig helper script.
