Thank you for reporting this, Richard!

I ran into this exact same error while upgrading to grub-pc
(2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu2.1) on Ubuntu 19.04.  After given choices of
"/dev/sda", "/dev/sda5" and "/dev/sdb", I selected /dev/sda and
/dev/sda5 on the "GRUB Install devices" page, leaving "/dev/sdb"
unchecked.  Then this error appears:

    Installing for i386-pc platform.
    grub-install: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /,.  Check your device.map

and, running "ps auxwww | grep grub" shows this:

    grub-install --target=i386-pc --force --no-floppy /,

just as what you have observed!

Thank you for providing the fix too!
I'll try to make merge request of your patch at 
https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team/grub

Cheers,
Anthony
