Right I forgot that Colin Watson backported my fix for the old parser.
So I was right in #2 that changing $root to ${root} fixes the problem.
(I don't use Ubuntu only Debian)

I didn't fix this in Debian's grub-installer because the grub2 Version
which enabled drivemap without the parser fixes their was uploaded to
experimental not unstable and the next unstable upload which finally
enabled it contained the parser fixes.
