I think I did mis-remember this, and the behavior I described is more like the 
behavior of the Debian installer (i.e., it boots an image (with a Linux 
kernel)  into RAM to use temporarily for the installation.

I just wanted to try to correct this for posterity.

If anyone can confirm this (both my mistake about grub and my (new) 
recollection about the Debian installer, those would be good things. :-)

Sorry for the noise!
