Yes.  grub-pc adds a bios boot entry if it finds windows.  grub-efi
adds an efi boot entry if it finds windows.  Adding both entries when
only one can work would be useless clutter.

Title:
  update-grub generates only BIOS based menu entries for Windows, even
  on UEFI systems

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “os-prober” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “grub2” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  64bits computer with pre-installed EFI Windows 7. (remark: same bug if
  Windows8)

  Installed Ubuntu 64bits in dual-boot. GRUB (grub-efi) is correctly
  installed and allows to boot Ubuntu, but it does not allow to boot
  Windows.

  Its menu shows 2 INVALID Windows entries. When selecting these
  entries, it displays "Invalid EFI file path" error, and returns to
  GRUB menu.

  It appears that GRUB creates BIOS/mbr entries when it should be
  UEFI/gpt type entries.

  *********************** WORKAROUND **************************

  either boot Windows from the (EFI) BIOS menu, or add valid Windows entries via Boot-Repair.
