the partition can't be
mounted so Wubi doesn't boot.
So, if we go back to the original point, given that Wubi 13.04 is easily
fixable, are your guesstimates of usage high or low? Are they based on
the downloads of Wubi.exe? Any numbers on that?

Retested this. The problem doesn't occur on 12.10 or 13.04.
It still happens on 12.04.2, which is using with nautilus 3.4.2.
Actually 12.10 is also using nautilus 3.4.2. So maybe this isn't a
nautilus bug after all. In 12.04.2 the window pops up but nothing
changes in the Unity bar.
In 12.10,
, but I expect there are
still many more BIOS-based computers out there than UEFI. And the regular
dual boot for UEFI has many problems as well. Wubi could probably be
smarter about checking whether Windows is booting through UEFI and exit
gracefully prior to downloading the ISO/diskimage.

Basically, it looks like
I still fail to see why this is a bug in wubi or ntfs-3g. The way I see it is
that Windows8 chooses to hibernate by default on shutdown (unless fast-start is
disabled), without the knowledge of the user. The fact that the user is unaware
of it, doesn't change the fact that it's hibernated. So
Okay, I hadn't noticed (or heard about) the bit about 'hybrid sleep'.
I switched it on, used the sleep, and then woke up from the sweep.
Then I hit Restart and tried to boot into Wubi, but it didn't work. I can't
mount the windows partition except in read-only mode.
bcbc@neptune:~$ head -c 30
For a Windows 8 shutdown and booting (non-wubi) Ubuntu, I get:
bcbc@neptune:~$ head -c 30 '/mnt/$LogFile' | tail -c 4 | od -t x1
000 00 00 02 00
004
But it won't mount it, except read-only so, in that sense, it's safe.
But it would be a pain for a user trying to boot from an Ubuntu USB
I haven't noticed any problems using Wubi or mounting NTFS from normal
dual boot (12.04.1) with Windows 8 - fast start is enabled.
The following is from a fresh Quantal install using Wubi:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5065179136 Sep 19 22:49 /host/hiberfil.sys
it just boots straight into Windows)
It's different when I shut down Windows 8 and then boot the non-Wubi install
(12.04.1). Then when I try to mount the windows partition I get:
bcbc@neptune:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.

debconf-show
PS should have mentioned in Results of last testcase (repeat testcase 3)
1. After update, debconf-show grub-pc shows installed-devices: /dev/loop0
2. No wubildr on /host before or after test (expected)
3. Also, I rebooted into Ubuntu following the updates to confirm it worked
(kind of
important
Reran testcases 2 and 4 (Maverick and Lucid install on same partition as
Windows). The test case involved adding -Proposed and just upgrading
packages grub-pc, grub-common, and lupin-support. The results were the
same as reported before.
Conclusion
===
Grub updates with the latest
Wubi 10.04.2 on external drive worked the same. So I'm 5 for 5.
