Not sure if this bug has expired. I am having the same problem.

I have ubuntu 9.10 with grub2 installed. I later installed fedora 12 on another 
partition without boot loader (thus, no menu.lst to attach).
When I run update-grub from ubuntu, the created entry for fedora has no initrd, 
as below:

menuentry "Fedora release 12 (Constantine) (on /dev/sda10)" {
        insmod ext2
        set root=(hd0,9)
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 18a8fb38-70c6-4d7e-9c3a-737e98c472a8
        linux /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE root=/dev/sda10
}

I had to do the custom menu, under 40_custom, in order to be able to
boot fedora. Here is my 40_custom:

menuentry "Fedora 12" {
        set root=(hd0,9)
        set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768
        linux /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE root=/dev/sda10
        initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE.img
}
