Definitely worth bugreporting.  I've only ever run 32-bit wubi, and a
quick googling of your issue didn't turn anything up.

Definitely a good idea to give her 32-bit - there are just enough
papercuts left with 64 that it's worth keeping newbie-ish users on 32.

I expect that your issue has to do with Grub2.
