An update: I looked at the change between r2077 and r2104 and it looks 
like the relevant code is util/hostdisk.c; I've attached a patch that 
appears to fix the problem.

Hi Again,
Thanks, r2104 builds with --enable-grub-fstest now, but a new problem,
not present in r2101 has surfaced: the command grub-probe now aborts on
my system with xfs filesystems. Therefore, I cannot run grub-install
(even  with  --modules=xfs). With rev's 2101, 2087, 2077, 2071, and 2065
grub-probe ran without error. Here's my hd config:

#device         mount-point     fs type options         dump    fsck
/dev/hda1       swap            swap    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda2       /               xfs     defaults        1       1


and here's the output of grub-probe (r2104):

# grub-probe -v --target=fs --device /dev/hda2
