To which device are you installing grub? Check what "core.img" prefix and modules grub-install is using with grub-install --debug $your_device 2>&1 | grep grub-mkimage [I hit a similar problem with mdadm 6 or 7 years ago and had to create a custom "core.img" to boot normally. You might have to do the same but i would've thought that this problem's been solved. I haven't encountered it since.]
