Public bug reported: This has happened before with earlier versions. I am installing, things are going swimmingly, and then I'm told that the grub installation has failed, and without it, the computer will not boot. No kidding it won't boot.
This is a recurring problem I have had with Ubuntu MATE. and it may well indeed pop up on other flavors of Ubuntu. I consider this a serious bug.
