No. The problem was that I had installed the GRUB files not in the
default directory (but in /boot/grub2) while grub-mkimage will not
change the grub_prefix variable found in the kernel.img.

This might suggest to add an option to grub-mkimage (say:
"--runtime-dir") to overrule the grub_prefix variable set in the image.
(This option would  then sort of correspond with the "--directory"
option of grub-setup.) Not that important, though ...
