Well, I'm still not sure what it's caused by.

The problem I see now is that the design of grub_find_drive() prevents us
from detecting NULL pointers as errors, and so we don't know if `name' was
NULL or otherwise a non-NULL drive was paired with a NULL device.

So please, try with this patch (in addition to what you had before).

I realize this is getting annoyingly long;  thanks for your patience in
going through it, it's very appreciated.
