I had the same issue, where the installer choose the wrong disk to write grub2's MBR to. I believe this is linked to Bug #569645: the system assign names to disk (sda, sdb, etc) in a random order (to save boot time, as I understand). So sda is not always the boot disk (as defined in the BIOS). However, the installer makes the assumption that the MBR to install grub2 is sda one. Something should be done, either in the installer to let the user tell which disk is the boot disk, the one to install grub to, or in the way disk controller are initialised, so that devices get assigned the same name across reboots.
