my point was more about the text of the error message.

Sure.

The setup is a single plain partition in an LVM volume.

The following commands reproduce the setup (in RAM if /tmp is tmpfs).
With a plain LVM volume, the error is the same tough.

  # tmpfile="$(mktemp)"
  # echo "${tmpfile}"
  # truncate --size=$((100*1024**2)) "${tmpfile}"
  # loop_device_2="$(losetup --show -f "${tmpfile}")"
  # echo "${loop_device_2}"
  # vgcreate vg "${loop_device_2}"
  # lvcreate --name lv -l 100%free vg
  # sleep 1

  # parted /dev/vg/lv --script mklabel msdos
  # parted /dev/vg/lv --script mkpart primary ext4 4m 100%
  # sleep 1
  # mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-lv1
  # mkdir /mnt/lv-root
  # mount /dev/mapper/vg-lv1 /mnt/lv-root
  # mkdir /mnt/lv-root/boot
  # grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/lv-root/boot /dev/mapper/vg-lv ;
echo $?
  Installing for i386-pc platform.
