Your Version: above doesn't seem to make sense in light of this comment.
The Version: field should be the version in which you found the bug, not
a version that seems to fix it.

I'm not sure what might have fixed this, anyway.  Could you please run:

  which update-grub
  bash -x /usr/sbin/update-grub

... and show me the output?

Thanks,
