Peter, I just noticed your more recent comment.  I was pretty certain
this was fixed some time ago because os-prober will refuse to generate a
bios windows entry if you are running in EFI mode, but it sounds like
you are still seeing this.  Are you running an older release?

Title:
  update-grub generates only BIOS based menu entries for Windows, even
  on UEFI systems

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in os-prober package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in grub2 package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  64bits computer with pre-installed EFI Windows 7. (remark: same bug if
  Windows8)

  Installed Ubuntu 64bits in dual-boot. GRUB (grub-efi) is correctly
  installed and allows to boot Ubuntu, but it does not allow to boot
  Windows.

  Its menu shows 2 INVALID Windows entries. When selecting these
  entries, it displays "Invalid EFI file path" error, and returns to
  GRUB menu.

  It appears that GRUB creates BIOS/mbr entries when it should be
  UEFI/gpt type entries.

  *********************** WORKAROUND **************************

  either boot Windows from the (EFI) BIOS menu, or add valid Windows entries via Boot-Repair.
