Please edit /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib to insert a line containing
just 'set -x' near the top, and then run update-grub again and send us
the output. (You should revert the change to
/usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib afterwards.)

You disabled os_probe in etc/default/grub. So this was the correct behavior
Thanks for this feedback - but I never remember disabling that. It is a
fresh install to a clean HDD from the beta1 CD.
Looking at the comments in the file, I think that one of the Xen
packages may have done something to it (see below). I installed Xen so
that I could run Win7 in a VM.
I think I understand the reason why Xen packages may be doing this -
I've had incidents on other boxes where update-grub has found VM boot
partitions that should not be used in dom0.
