GRUB crashes on loading multiboot2 kernel

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Release: 14.04

2) apt-cache policy grub-common
grub-common:
  Installed: 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7

  Version table:

3) I attempted to boot a customized version of tboot in a UEFI environment (using the multiboot2 command) I expected the system to boot as usual.

4) GRUB displayed the message that it was loading tboot and never went further.

5) Further Details:

After GRUB crashed, I set the "debug" environment variable to "all" in the GRUB configuration file and I tracked the problem to functions in "grub-core/lib/relocator.c" in the source.

This bug was reported in the main GRUB repo:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41655

The fix for this was posted back in 2014:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=46b74dd3cbb3a97a7abeb7f0464de548006e0e3d

I checked the GRUB source obtained through apt-get source and can confirm that the fix listed above was not integrated into Ubuntu's version of GRUB.

Note: This fix was a part of the changes for 2.02-beta3 (released in February 2016). Ubuntu is currently running 2.02-beta2 (even for the newest Ubuntu releases).
