Yes, it's from the current *unpatched* grub-probe.

We could tell the user via 'grub-probe --help' that he may pass either a path or
a block device as an argument.

There are no different actions! Whether you give a valid path or a block device
as an argument, the program behaves exactly the same. It does even behave
exactly as before (i.e. unpatched) if given a path. Accepting devices as
argument is simply an *added* feature.
