I believe this bug is related to some problem in glibc, which is now
fixed.

Unfortunately it didn't for me : apparently ext4 support in grub is 
actually broken in some way : grub-install fails here because it doesn't
identify ext4 partitions.

Which is why I'm currently booting off lilo :-| I totally volunteer to
test ext4 support in DI.
