grub-install /dev/md0 would refer to writing of the first sector of md0,
not of the hosting disk. This makes sense in context of virtual machines
(e.g. kvm /dev/md0). If it did anything else I'd classify it as a bug.

This would inscribe into another feature request of installing to a
device containing given partition. IT's not yet clear which interface
this will use.
