Might be a remnant from when grub-setup mangled prefix?  I recently moved
this off grub-setup and into grub-install/grub-mkimage so that core.img had
the right prefix regardless on whether it was being loaded directly by a
multiboot loader or via grub-setup.

Or maybe I'm completely out of context here.  In any case, please take into
account that modifications done to core.img by grub-setup have no effect if
core.img is being loaded directly.
