I decided to get involved with Ubuntu 13.04 so I built a development computer and partitioned it so I could test several Linux variants. I ended up with this:

I was quiet happy starting with 12.04, then moving to 12.10 and then to 13.04 all the while watching Grub automatically update so that at boot time I was given the option of which variety I wanted to boot into.
Today, I was going through each distribution performing some updates, and doing some research at the same time, and in what I can only describe as a moment of abject stupidity I did a sudo upgrade-grub (at least I think that's what I did). The next time I rebooted, I got this:

The first five lines are as I expect with the exception that 12.04 now seems to be the lead instead of 13.04. The remaining 6 lines seem to be trying to do the right thing but are outputting generic text instead of scanned results... or so I'm thinking.
If I select one of the later options the correct dist loads so at least Grub is pointing to the right area. What I want is for Grub to list the distributions in chrono order and without the '--class ubuntu' words.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I've tried to 'sudo update-grub' from all of the partitions but trhe Grub text on boot never seems to change.
