Follow-up Comment #1, bug #32391 (project grub):
The blocklists are unreliable because the filesystems can move the files
around at will and so the exact sectors are subject to change. Any such change
creates both a reliability and security problem. Previously the blocks were
only rarely moved around. However, now, with features like tail repacking and
online defragmenter it will become increasingly of a problem. LILO always
relied on the blocklists and hence isn't a viable option in future. However, I
agree that this bug should be fixed. Can you try dd if=/dev/sda skip=<START
SECTOR OF sda5> of=squeeze.bin bs=512 count=1. Could you come to #grub on
freenode so we can make a quicker exchange?
