(Get the code!)
This is still a bug on Jaunty as of Mar. 28/2010.
Regardless of why it was released on Jaunty, you should support it, or remove it from the repos. I agree with Tom Metro in that before jumping to the 9.10 upgrade I want to make sure it "will work" and what I have found out is that NO it does not because it is not receiving any support, or at least not the same support as has be given to Karmic. I am sure you will end up with more frustrated users as they see more and more "how to's" on the internet about moving to grub 2. I fell into this "trap" thinking that the bugs would have had to be corrected by now... I was wrong.
Aside from the Bug, with the uuid/root I needed to test to make sure (legacy grub map commands) drivemap module, and (legacy grubs makeactive) parttool module will allow my system to boot as did their counterparts in grub legacy. I see that Karmic, from the information above, received these "essential tools" while Jaunty did not.

I have already written way to much, and I apologize for my frustration if it comes across that I am indeed frustrated. I am just of the opinion if it is left in the Jaunty repos, then update it and bug fix it. Otherwise pull it because I can tell you that when I went into Synaptic package manager and typed in Grub 2, there were no warnings about it being a "test" or warnings stating that it would render me a bootless machine, or that modules were missing that are needed to match the toolset found in Grub legacy.
Please see attached screenshot from the Synaptic Package Manger.
Sincerely,
Tom Adams
