That sort of buggy behaviour is precisely the sort of bug I was thinking of when I said "Assuming OpenBSD implements the expected POSIX behaviours"; it sounds like the combination of GRUB2 and Linux does not implement the expected POSIX behaviours.

And I'd agree with you on the blame; while I can see why GRUB2 wouldn't want to do a log replay itself, it should at least check the log first, then the backing store if the log has no recent changes - that way, it won't read something unexpected.
