I am not sure the problem is the same in your case. The original problem was that version string format has been changed from Ubuntu 10 to Ubuntu 11. On Ubuntu 10.04 (which we used for development) the version string looks like

    grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.xx)

however on Ubuntu 11 it has been changed to

    grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-12ubuntu5

As you can see the format is different, so our code fails to detect the version correctly and defaults to GRUB1 to avoid any regressions, however GRUB1 code cannot deal with GRUB2 boot loader.

I am not sure when this change happened and what is the format for Ubuntu 10.10, however if it is similar to the second form, then you are having the same issue. On the other hand if it is similar to the first version, then the problem must be somewhere else. Can you upload the task logs? (switch Converter GUI to Task view, right-click on the failed task and select "Export logs" command).
