Looking through the comments, it seems that usb-creator does not install a new MBR.
I can confirm this for Intrepid. Steps to reproduce:
 1. Manually install grub on the USB drive
 2. Verify that grub boots correctly
 3. Run usb-creator.
 4. Try to boot from the USB drive. It only gets up to "GRUB". But if the MBR had been installed, it shouldn't even get there but directly start syslinux.
