Bah, again something which I should do in one email and not 2.
Because you have an UUID prefix, I think your device.map order is the
problem.
grub2 is thinking you want a cross install i.e. have the mbr code on hd0
but /boot on hd1
So if that's the case please change device.map and then do

grub-install --no-floppy --grub-setup=/bin/true "(hd0)"

That's what postinst does to generate the core.img
with --grub-setup=/bin/true your MBR won't change.
