Does bug #511121 not work for you? Or does its implementation contradict your original criterion ("In order to Keep It (multiboot) Stupidly Simple, most booting here is via Grub 0.97.x."). https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB_Legacy makes an oblique reference to ext4 without any comment, but that lack may be because the page is aimed at people *preserving* their legacy, not people making a new installation of Grub Legacy. It's widely reported that there's no support of Grub Legacy from upstream, and no new features will be added. Cheers, David.
