Actually, this turns out not to be necessary at all. After all, GRUB
Invaders is a multiboot-compliant kernel game and as such can be loaded
directly by means of qemu's -kernel parameter. Thus, the "run" script
would look like this:
qemu-system-i386 -kernel invaders.exec
Please find the kernel image attached. It is built from the Debian
sources found here:
https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/invaders.html
Hope this helps. If there are any further questions, please do not
hesitate to ask me.

PS: I am a bit shocked by the fact how complicated it is to install GRUB
on a disk image. And, John, even if the approach you outlined worked, I
guess GRUB will find its device.map puzzled when it will get rebooted
from inside an image file instead of an actual hard-drive partition the
next time.
invaders.exec
