I have a Natty as a VirtualBox-Machine under Jaunty. There was a broken virtualbox-x11-guest-utils package in Natty which made the virtual machine simply turn off on X11 start. The grub menu didn't appear by itself. I reported the problem but was told that Jaunty is no longer supported.
I simply think that you can't detect every situation that requires the grub menu. What if you have a shutdown command in an /etc/init/-script?
