so why the peculiar behaviour that lightdm works when the partition
installed native grub boots the system

BUT not when a grub installed by another partition is used then lightdm
consistently crashes and the machine locks up..

BUT if i915 is added to /etc/modules in the offending partition it all
seems to work properly .. except plymouth does not show up..

if grub is restored by the offending partition via booting via rescue or
working through a chroot  WITHOUT i915 added to /etc/modules i.e. as
installed originally .. the system seems to work but some times only
vesa is used after an initial lightdm crash ..

Then there is partition sda1 which consistently works from any grub
installed by other partitions and NEVER had i915 added to /etc/modules
..

please explain...what might cause this
