I believe there were several bugs open for essentially the same thing. In my case if the partition was from a firmware RAID, grub wouldn't be installed. I viewed this as a regression as originally, perhaps in the 7. time frame it didn't work with firmware raid unless one used the alternate install, even for desktop. I believe in the 8. or certainly the 9. time frame it would with the standard install, until 11.10 where it once again broke.
