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.
