It may be a recent regression because we have a reports of successful
boot in such configuration
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-05/msg00179.html and

Be sure that grub is compiled with -mcmodel=large. You can also try
disable usage of >4GiB memory by adding
#define MCMODEL_SMALL
to kern/efi/mm.c
