This is complete guessing, but could the file, util/deviceiter.c, i.e. the
iteration over devices, have something to do with it? In version
grub2-2.02~beta2, there is this block beginning in line 713 (inside of an
#ifdef __linux__):

Interestingly, there is a similar block starting in line 645

which might explain why this problem has not been detected/fixed beforehand.
There weren't probably a lot of users with more than 96 IDE disks …
This can be completely wrong, but if you already have a test setup, you might
get the package ("apt-get build-dep grub2; apt-get source grub2") change the
value, rebuild the package ("fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us" should
work), install (dpkg -i ...) and test it.
Kind regards
