None whatsoever for me with FC-5 on hdb and Windows XP on hda.
The machine is an HP-Compaq EVO, with GRUB installed in the
MBR of hda.  The difference might be that my machine doesn't
have any of the Compaq recovery software on it.  It was a used
machine purchased with a fresh install of Win XP Pro on a disk
that had been wiped clean.
