I think this should fix this bug, though I would like confirmation:
grub-installer (1.24ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low
* Mark the partition to which GRUB is being installed as bootable, or
failing that the first available primary partition on the disk to which
GRUB is being installed (LP: #14244).

Could you confirm whether you're still seeing this problem with a
current daily build (Tribe 5 is too old to contain this fix)? There is
one more piece to this puzzle I know I need to fill in, namely that
partman-auto no longer needs to force the root partition to be bootable
as the bootloader installers will now simply ensure that there is a
bootable partition which is good enough. However, I don't think this
should affect you.
I didn't do this precisely the same way as you suggested, since I don't
think it matters that the bootable flag be set on the extended
partition. As I understand the BIOS rules, any primary should do fine.
