Yes, that's bash interpreting the ( character. Try:
grub-setup -r '(hd0,8)'

This looks OK, but the search path is ignored in LFS. You can remove
that, but it doesn't do any harm. The file system being ext3 or ext2
doesn't matter to grub. The difference is the journal and grub doesn't
write to the partition when booting.
