Hi Ian,

Can we get this sorted out on GRUB 2 first?  If we check it in only for GRUB
Legacy, it means it's one more regression we'll need to take care of.

I noticed you already sent the GRUB 2 patch to grub-devel.  I've just sent a
reply there.  Can you check?  Once it's merged into GRUB 2, we could consider
backporting this functionality if needed.

Thanks!
