This is not a duplicate of bug #496435 as this was a fresh install, not
an upgrade. The cause of this bug is likely that the installer installed
grub to a drive other than the one which is first in the boot order.
This situation is very difficult to prevent as the boot drive can't be
determined from within linux. One possible solution would be installing
to all hard drives by default, but that is likely unacceptable in many
circumstances.

To clarify, the reason that I believe grub failed to load is that the
machine was actually booting from a hard drive with an old install of
grub2 in its mbr+embedded area. When this old install tried to use the
newer, incompatible, modules from /boot/grub it failed. There was a
drive with a recent and working grub install, it just wasn't the drive
being booted from.
