After talking with a lot of people since filing this and seeing that triage was going in the strange directions with this problem... I spent a lot of time doing more homework and research. I spent a lot of time on IRC # grub yesterday talking with a few of their dev's and support's. I followed their advice and... I guess we'll see where this goes:

GNU GRUB - Bugs:
bug #33318: Unknown process in grub 1.99~rc1 is setting and passing invalid graphics data to linux kernel and Xorg.
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?33318

You should now be able to tie this bug (LP Bug #781445) to that Upstream Bug.
