Ah, I didn't notice they were updated in saucy yet since
packages.ubuntu.com isn't working for saucy yet. Just updated grub and
os-prober to 2.00-14ubuntu1 and 1.61ubuntu1 respectively and looks good.

Title:
GRUB2 fails to detect/add Windows entries on a UEFI system
Status in os-prober:
Confirmed
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1) install Ubuntu on a computer with UEFI firmware
2) Reboot the PC, boot into Ubuntu, open a terminal and check that the 'sudo os-prober' command does not return any Windows entry.
REMARK: if it returns some Windows entry, but those entries are
invalid, you may be affected by Bug #1024383 instead.

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