I have the same problem in 13.10 with the default grub setup: it ignores
Shift and just starts the newest installed kernel. It also doesn't show
the menu on restart after a crash, which would be a big problem if a
newly-installed kernel (or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
test kernel) turned out to be unbootable.
Workaround: comment out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub to
always display the boot menu.
** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
