That certainly seems to fix this bug.

I tested it by applying that patch to grub, and then getting that
version of grub installed into the target just after the initial attempt
to run grub had failed, which then allows a retry of the grub install
step to succeed.

Also, with the patched version: `grub-probe -d /dev/vda1` produces 'xfs'

Cheers, Phil.
