  I conjecture that you are doing Something Else wrong.

  I have many machines that have ext3 /boot partitions, including
several that were set up initially as lenny machines.  I also have
this habit, and I generally intend to use ext2, but sometimes
I forget to switch it from the installer's filesystem default,
which is ext3.
