Umm... yes Wubi uses grub. In fact a grub menu.lst is created and
installed on the Windows machine in:

ubuntu\disks\boot\grub

and

ubuntu\winboot

On a dual boot system the Wubi menu.lst is modified to show all other
OS's as well. Here is mine (wubi menu.lst) on a dual boot where Ubuntu
(Gutsy) is on one drive (sda1) and WinXPPro w/wubi/ubuntu (Hardy 8.04.1)
is installed on the other (sdb1) - note the "looped=" entries:
