The text for btrfs in the kernel configuration says:

 Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET
 FINALIZED.  You should say N here unless you are interested in
 testing Btrfs with non-critical data.

The distros may well enable it for such people but you also
have a duty of care to ensure that you understand the filesystems
that you are choosing to use.  Nevertheless this is not a bug
in btrfs at all.

You need to report the bug in grub-probe (part of the grub-common
package I believe) to Debian. There was a similar bug reported here:

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=540786

But that should have been fixed in 1.98+20100602-1 and the
current version in Squeeze is 1.98+20100804-14.

Best of luck,
Chris
