This was a problem I had noticed cropping up every now and then on the
forums. I made the assumption that it was ext4 and not the inode size. I had
confirmed it on ext4 but haven't done extensive testing to figure out the
exact problem.
Anyway - I just did a test with the wubildr.mbr from the latest Oneiric
wubi.exe and removed wubildr - now it goes past my ext4 partition and
reports "cannot find grldr on all devices. Press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to
restart". So it looks like your fix is working great.
I'll do more tests when alpha 2 comes out as well.
