Ok. The fact that it's not reproducible on two systems of the same class
strongly points to a hardware problem. And if it's not a hardware problem,
it's probably a kernel problem since grub-probe itself doesn't do much
that's particularly interesting.
Can you please run the '/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sda1
--target=fs_uuid' under strace, and attach the resulting debug output?

Title:
update-grub (grub-probe) during package installation on Cisco UCS B260
servers - Precise deployment fails with hwe-t kernel
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In bug 1437475, deploying Precise with maas was failing with curtin
error with generic ephemeral image.
With hwe-t kernel it gets passed the curtin error.. However, grub
looks to be stuck. Looking at the diff for install log minutes apart
right before deployment gets marked as failed by maas, it looks to be
retrying the last step:
