patching and recompiling is not my best. i'd prefer you/someone send me 
a patched grub to test...

i've done some more tests:

0) i've reinstalled the lenny rc2 netinstall image on /dev/hda5
1) i've installed grub 0.97-41 (lenny), -42 (sid), -30 
(snapshot.debian.net) and none worked.
2) then i've installed 0.97-29 and worked
3) and then i've installed -30 again and it again didn't work.
4) since it complains about /boot/grub/stage1 i've diffed stage1 from 
-29 and from -30 and they have the same content.
5) i've rebooted using d-i lenny rc2 and "fsck.ext2 -f 7dev/hda5" finds 
no error, so the filesystem is clean.
6) i've also found that with version -41 it complains abous grub-install 
line 384 and with version -42 the conflicting line is 369. now i see it 
is the same 'for' bucle.
7) with the system booted, created a ext2 (e2fsprogs version 1.40.8) 
partition in /dev/hda7 and i got that grub-install /dev/hda7 version -29 
works, version -30 not.
