I agree that grub-install and the other tools should know more about
/boot/grub being a separate partition in order to be able to mount it for a
correct install. Not so much on the two boostrap partitions, my tiny one
as generated by the Debian installer ages ago is good enough to hold a
copy of GRUB and a "just in case" copy of yaboot. But of course, this could
be an optional setup.

See Michel Dänzer's post I just forwarded. Besides what you pointed out,
it seems there are other serious problems with the new HFS patch which
make it fail as before.
