Read the source code of the OS prober.
I guess it's most likely finding the NTFS partition boot code for Windows 7, not sure if you can easily erase it or disable the check.
Probably the fix is to expand the check to also check that a file called "bootmgr" is present in the NTFS root directory (or "ntldr" in the pre-Vista case).

Yup, that was the problem -- Bootmgr was present. Earlier I had suggested looking for NTLDR, which of course wasn't there. Completely forgot about Bootmgr!
