Grub os-prober runs twice on update

Here is one I haven't seen yet in my many adventures of grub2/EFI boot fun while playing the distro field. Latest when I run update-grub (to add a new try-out to the menu) os-prober runs twice. See below when update is run:

doneI thought it was just I might have added the enable probe line twice (kubuntu ships disabled by default) but I looked at the file and it is only there once:

Hope I formatted the above properly. Anyone have any ideas why it is probing twice? Everything booting fine <knock on wood> but oh yeah, haven't tried windows yet. I test each other install when I have added a new shiny plaything, I do windows last -sigh- because I don't care. Will update if there is an issue.
