I wanted to test if booting kubuntut testing dvd in efi mode and doing oem install to /dev/sdb with the /dev/sda starting with zeros, and it failed. Interestingly the syslog says grub installed, but then after that says cant find partition info on /dev/sda and the kubuntu installer reported a failure. So it seems this bug doesn't affect just legacy mode boot.
