For what it's worth, I cannot load core.img even from the current GRUB2:

grub> kernel /boot/grub/core.img
error: unknown ELF class

Yet core.img appears to have a valid multiboot header:

# mbchk /boot/grub/core.img 
/boot/grub/core.img: The Multiboot header is found at the offset 592.
/boot/grub/core.img: Page alignment is turned off.
/boot/grub/core.img: Memory information is turned off.
/boot/grub/core.img: Address fields is turned on.
/boot/grub/core.img: All checks passed.
