Did you really test this correctly?
I can't imagine the /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ provided by the memtest86+
package causes this.
As i already said in the report (though to someone else) the only reason
for that should be when the embed core.img is out of sync
with /boot/grub
Which only happens if grub-install gets run on a disk device where your
BIOS isn't booting from.
And that can happen because sometimes the kernel just thinks it's a good
idea to renumber them and so the stored device in the
grub-pc/install_devices debconf prompt is wrong.
