By core image, I mean the image you're actually booting from, which
doesn't always match the package on your file system for one reason or
another.  What version number does it say when you get the GRUB menu at
boot?

Not the package in itself, because it's only there in config-files
state.  However, the fact that it's there may indicate that your system
is confused between BIOS and EFI booting.  Perhaps you have half an old
BIOS installation of GRUB lying around, and your firmware is getting
confused and trying to boot from it.
