Ok sorry, hadn't looked in detail at the Ubuntu patches.
Anyway the problem is missing quotes in the generated grub.cfg:

set default=Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)

As a short solution you could try
GRUB_DEFAULT="\"Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)\""
in /etc/default/grub
