Sorry for the delay in replying to this.  Could you please post the
output of:

  sudo debconf-show grub-pc

?  Is there anything else interesting about your system, since this is
not something I can reproduce?  Bearing in mind the period of time
involved, it might also be worth trying with 2.02~beta2-14 now that you
have rescue media to hand.

Thanks,
