There's nothing we can do about this in GRUB. 64-bit UEFI systems require a 64-bit OS.
Ubiquity possibly ought to warn about this; except that in order to get as far as Ubiquity you must have either explicitly or implicitly switched the firmware into BIOS compatibility mode, which means that it no longer looks like UEFI to Ubiquity!
