That's typical, but not certain. When the MBR code is already generic and
Grub is where it belongs on a primary partition instead of where it doesn't
belong on the MBR, then normally it won't get replaced.

Actually if Grub is already on a / or /boot you can dd its boot sector to a
file that Windows can find and use to chainload. Using doz to boot Grub this
way means no worries about doz screwing up your ability to boot Linux.

But then Windows needs reinstallation more often than anything else, so it's
good to know how to do it after. http://fm.no-ip.com/install-doz-after.html
