Since upstream knows about this and user's report matches upstream description (which blames it on buggy bioses), my best determination is that this bug belongs to the ubuntu installer instead of grub. Upstream seems to be saying this is "Can't Fix", but perhaps the installer could handle these special cases? I'm moving the package for this bug to casper, the installer system. If an installer guru knows better, please change the assignment accordingly. The bug reporter is right - this could be a disheartening install experience for someone with one of these bioses.
