Not quite sure I know how I should be testing this, but here is what I did:

Installed ubuntu 64-bit on a system with two internal drives, a 128GB SSD and a 500GB drive, both SATA. The system has no internal CD-ROM ATM, so I used a USB CD drive.

I used a desktop CD and chose to wipe the first disk (entire disk install). On the last screen of the installer I checked the Advanced button where I saw that the installer planned to put grub on hd0.

But after doing the actual install the system booted grub from sda (the SSD). It showed an entry for the 2.6.27-7 kernel on that drive and the correct 2.6.24 entries from the older system on sdb.

Grub was already installed on sda from the previous install there, but it was clearly updated on the new install.

Attaching syslog which claims grub was installed on hd0, but then went on do configure on sda (I'll leave detailed analysis to those who actually know how to read the logs ;) )
