According to this bug [1], grub gained the ability to boot from
metadata=1.0 in 2010. No clue if it actually applies to grub-1 or only 2.

You will still need metadata=0.9.0 if you want to partition the raid
itself and then boot from it (e.g. create /boot and root on the md device).

Please also take a look at the thread in [2].
