I think the problem is GRUB2's own install script/app, doesn't do a great job 
of accounting for disks partitioned where the 1st partition comes less than 
35KB after the MBR, and as the core.img is too large it fails to install 
between the MBR and partition 1.

Strangely though, anaconda manages to get it to install without a complaint.
