Looking at the source AFAICS this fix isn't neither in unstable nor
in squeeze. As this bugfix addresses a bug for iso loopback booting
that's not that uncommon for people using this feature I'd like to
see this bugfix in squeeze too.

I've verified this bug and grub2 (1.99~20101122-1) from experimental
works fine with the loopback boot on ext3 whereas the version
from squeeze/unstable fails.

Thanks for consideration.

regards,
