Yes, it does. Especially when the implementation of a journaling is loose, the 
superblock of a journaling filesystem often breaks, when you cut the power 
supply while your OS is replaying a journal. In this case, GRUB cannot read 
anything from the filesystem, because the metadata of the root directory is 
corrupted. Due to this, ext3 is more fragile than ext2, in my experience.
