Murray,

It does seem complicated! And it does look like something of a bug. I think 
the last item for spec_i choices is the key.

{spec,rules}          use rules to override specifications in spec

Grid[Join[{{"First", "Second", "Third"}}, Partition[Range[6], 3]],
 Dividers -> {{None, {2 -> Red, 3 -> Red}}, {2 -> Blue}}]

None specifies no vertical dividers but the second list overrides specific 
positions.

However, it is not necessary to specify None because if we use a list of 
rules then they are the only dividers that are drawn.

Grid[Join[{{"First", "Second", "Third"}}, Partition[Range[6], 3]],
 Dividers -> {{2 -> Red, 3 -> Red}, {2 -> Blue}}]
