It has been the case for some time now. We use debconf to store the
devices that need grub reinstalled on upgrade. You can run
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc to update/correct the list.

If you upgrade to precise, you should no longer be running the precise
grub, not lucid grub. The grub ABI is not stable, so whenever a new
grub package is installed, the MBR/core image must also be updated or
breakage will happen when it tries to use the updated modules in
/boot/grub. The same rationale applies to the config file.
