Uhm.. I can't understand why it can't realpath() on that file.  It does
certainly exist, doesn't it?  Otherwise grub-probe wouldn't have found it
in first place.

Please verify it exists.  Also, try "grub-probe -t device /".

And make sure you were using the latest grub-common, it has improvements on
this area.
