Right your not a Debian guy ;)

-- Package-specific info:

Because of this I can be sure that he used the `reportbug' or maybe the
`reportbug-ng' program/script 
I don't know anything about the -ng version except that's it's graphical
instead of console.

At least for `reportbug' I can say that it luckly get's the version
number from `dpkg'.
You don't need to find the version out yourself, or even have to choose
from a list.
But the whole things `reportbug' sends to the Debian BTS is shown in
your favourite editor where you have to add your actual bug report
before it get's send to bugs.debian.org
I hope he's just not that intelligent to choose the right severity or
make a correct bug report.
Hopefully he wasn't that smart to change the version number `reportbug'
put in the report.

Maybe he installed an earlier version and used grub-install only on that
i.e. real GRUB is outdated, but the report was made after the grub-pc
package was updated to that version.

I really hope that it's just his fault instead of that GRUB still has a
bug which can lead to this fd0 problem :((
