I've done many Wubi installs on Ubuntu and this is not an issue (except
as reported in bug 620028). I can't speak for Kubuntu and Xubuntu, but
I've noticed threads on ubuntuforums.org that indicate wubi kubuntu is
fairly common, so I doubt it's an issue there either.

Title:
  Mythbuntu Wubi fails to boot - lupin-support not installed

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Confirmed
Status in Wubi, Windows Ubuntu Installer:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing MythBuntu with Wubi, the package lupin-support is not
  installed, leaving no way to boot into the install. The installation
  itself is successful.

  Test:
  Downloaded and burned Mythbuntu i386 Desktop ISO to CD.
  Opened CD in Windows and selected to install MythBuntu.
  Rebooted to complete installation - everything seemed normal, until the end where I saw an error popup (already reported as bug 759454)
  After the computer restarted, I selected Ubuntu and the grub menu appeared, but didn't contain any entries for the Mythbuntu install. (Just Windows and another ubuntu install already present).

  I dropped to a command prompt and booted Mythbuntu manually:
  linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro quiet splash
  initrd /initrd.img
  boot

  Then I confirmed that lupin-support had not been installed. After installing the package it added entries for Mythbuntu and then after that it booted successfully.
  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lupin-support

  This has also been reported in 10.10 Mythbuntu Wubi installs.
