Hi,
I've just tested os-prober 1.35 on amd64 and it works correctly (detects
Window XP partition):
~# /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
Found Windows XP Professional x64 Edition on /dev/sda2
menuentry "Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (on /dev/sda2)" {

This sounds like the contents of the newns file is corrupted. Can you
try to reinstall the os-prober package and see if it still doesn't work?
What does "file /usr/lib/os-prober/newns" say?
regards,
