It's not fixed, but behaviour appears to be slightly different.

root is getting detected as (hd0,1) while prefix is ending up set to
(hd0,1)(md0)/boot/grub/ and I'm still getting dropped to the rescue
shell.

root (md0)
set prefix=(md0)/boot/grub
insmod /boot/grub/boot.mod
normal

still makes the menu come up and boot happen normally from that point.

I've mailed control@ to clone the bug and change the original back to
mine.
