Dear Frans, thank you for your quick reply on my report! Sorry for my delayed answer.
After some more reading I think I understand better now what is happening. So if the problem is in the domain of grub and not debian specific, I think it would be reasonable to close the bug. On the other hand, just one idea: If I understand correctly one can inform grub about changing harddisk assignment by file device.map. If so, an according option in the debian-installer would be nice which offers to create such a file if MBR things are installed not on the first but another harddisk.
