I am not sure this is a duplicate. Probably has the same cause.
Commenting on this issue makes it clearer.

I can boot and use the system, but the problem persists, although it is
a minor annoyance.

The 14.04 upgrade did not update several EFI entries in the Windows boot menu.
Selecting them in the bios menus brings out the broken grub.

$ sudo efibootmgr -o 1,0
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0001,0000
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager
Boot0001* ubuntu

If I do:

$ sudo efibootmgr -n 1

The next boot works OK.

dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi is not working as expected.

Title:
  "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" in Ubuntu 14.04

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The error was detected in the upgrade to 14.04.

  Found in 2 HP PCs with identical hardware.
  One of them has this problem after a fresh install of 14.04.

  They have UEFI. Only one disk.

  Although the error message is similar, none of the methods described in the existing bugs fixes the problem:
  - Boot Repair
  - dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64

  We can avoid this message using the BIOS boot menu.
  The option "ubuntu" is present, and after choosing it, there is a functional Grub.
  From there, everything works OK.
