"If I have multiple linux distributions I may want to re-install grub to the partition with '/boot' from the other install, not the current one." ----> why would you want to do that?
"There are no conflicts on EFI partitions, as when we install in UEFI mode grub uses it's own subdirectory as per UEFI spec." ----> ok
"Why should I not install on top of Windows partitions?" ----> erasing Windows for Ubuntu installation is another subject. What I am talking about in this bug, is that when you install GRUB in the PBR of a Windows boot partition, the consequence is that Windows won't boot anymore. This is a very frequent problem on forums.
"Maybe I'm done with windows, do not want to boot it but want to keep it for accessing it's files?" ----> in this case you don't need to install GRUB into Windows PBR.
