Of course it's not fatal bug, it's not even bug at all if you'll think about it:
GRUB knows NOTHING about what's mounted where. And that's good, that's how GRUB
was designed and how it should work. So it's feature, not bug. Still perhaps
somewhere in documentation it should be mentioned - for users not familiar with
GRUB it looks like a bug.
