This bug appears to affect a standard Vagrant install of Debian Buster as
well. After booting, upgrading, and rebooting, I'm faced with the error.

The Vagrant base box is a fairly common one:
https://app.vagrantup.com/bento/boxes/debian-10

I'm guessing this is a fairly standard disk layout in their build:

# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 64 GiB, 68719476736 bytes, 134217728 sectors
Disk model: VBOX HARDDISK
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0x1b8eb89d

I'm using the (admittedly insecure) solution  of "sudo apt-mark hold grub*"
