Commenting out my changes results in:

$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic-pae
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic-pae
...
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2
Found Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda3

and grub2 boot menu:

Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-32-generic-pae
Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-32-generic-pae (recovery mode)
Previous Linux versions
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)
Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda3)

I of course have eliminated memtest86.
