     The link to SuperGrub  gives this:

Grub default installation consist on installing what we call stage1 in 
the MBR. After that after the MBR and before the first partition 
beginning the stage1_5 is written. This stage1_5 conflicts with some 
Windows policies that want in this space their own data. You can however 
bypass this problem by linking stage1 to stage2, which it is not located 
in this problematic area.


     This sounds like a Grub2 problem which will one hopes be fixed in 
the future. It appears that stage1_5 is written into the first partition 
after the MBR which is always the win7 partition. I hope they fix it soon.
