IIRC there is a convention that the MBR partition info (somewhere in the sector buffer it just read) that the MBR handed control to is passed over to the partition boot sector in a specific register. I'm not exactly sure how much this is valid. Some GRUB developer told me this, I'd trust it but didn't check myself. For Haiku for example, we don't use it and have to manually update the partition offset in the partition bootsector (makebootable CLI tool), which is a hassle. And I don't think our own MBR chooser implements it either (but it chainloads windows correctly though). So I should probably look it up someday. Try to ask phcoder on irc.freenode.net, he's usually on #grub of course.
