Please post the contents of your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.  The code in
update-grub which handles uuids runs:

        case "$grub_root_device" in
                [^A-Za-z0-9]*)
                        echo "root              $grub_root_device" >> $buffer
                ;;
                *)
                        echo "uuid              $grub_root_device" >> $buffer
                ;;
        esac

So this should always correctly output a 'uuid' line in this case
instead of the 'root' line that you cited.

Also, which version of the grub package do you have installed, and what
locale do you use?
