Somewhat unrelated but, it just made me remember:

I received reports that performing the keyboard workaround for macbook
twice would hang GRUB.  This is typically done when chain-loading GRUB 2
core.img from GRUB Legacy.

Does this sound plausible?  Is the workaround in GRUB 2 meant to support
system states in which it has already been performed?
