Surely this is still a bug in the grub shell for failing to notice that it had rendered the system unbootable? I think this bug qualifies as "serious"; I think plenty of people are going to be upset when the grub shell toasts their system without warning. If you downgrade it, I'd appreciate if you would offer an explanation why you think this is an ok bug to release with given its non-obvious consequences; but please don't close it, as it does refer to a real bug. I've already talked with Otavio about getting 0.97 into testing in spite of this bug, since there are other bugs in testing that are at least as significant.
