Thanks for testing the experimental version.
I think there are no related changes which could affect this.
What was your previous version by the way?
/var/log/dpkg.log should tell.

Honourly, no clue.
Please do `dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1 | grep UUID'
This should show the one in grub.cfg
Maybe a `umount /boot; e2fsck -f /dev/sda1' would help.
e2fsprogs had now recently a new upstream version upload to unstable.
