Yes, I 'now this a grub issue, but on friday, when i suffer mbr damage, i scan 
upgraded package on yum.log and i could see, among the dangerous packages: 
kernel and device-mapper-multipath (give a look at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450143)

No grub upgrade was in place. My grub is: grub-0.97-33.fc9.i386

At this moment we cannot say if the mbr was damaged by kernel or 
device-mapper-multipath or whatsever.
I feel that anyone at the moment can fall in this issue and i feel my obey to 
advice this community.
Maybe my words are not the best and are misleading, i agree with you; for sure 
someone of fedora devs can describe this issue without misleading.
my 2 cents
