Thanks Steve,

FYI,
I am not using grub-install, but instead:

sudo ./host/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup \
-b ./host/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/boot.img \
-c ./images/grub.img -d . /dev/sde

I have notified the grub mailing list, this seems to be an unknown issue 
and I need to fill a bug report. (and first try with 2.01-beta ...)
