The problem doesn't seem to rely on the El Torito extension but with
a screwded way of handling chainloader (device)+offset.
Would you mind trying this kind of syntax ?
root (fd1)
chainloader +1
boot
This always succeeds with me. IIRC, such a strange behavior (hiatus
between chainloader (device)+1 and root (device); chainloader +1 appeared
with 0.92.
There is something to be fixed.
