Works for me.

It boots my system in default configuration without problem.
No unaligned pointer anywhere, or point out of range errors.
Tab completion works correctly.

Still grub uses text mode only. I tried this sequence of commands to
switch mode by hand:

grub:sh> loadfont /grub/unicode.pf2  # no error
grub:sh> insmod vbe # no error
grub:sh> insmod gfxterm # no error
grub:sh> terminal_output gfxterm
# terminal goes blank, and after a moment, screen is clear with
# an error message and prompt at top
error: No siutable mode found!
grub:sh>

I will try 1.96+20090317-1 now, because this is probably the version
which had gfxterm working correctly.
