I keep my own backports of stuff that I am interested in, so I have just 
re-built the current grub2 packages against the current Mageia2 repos 
for you, you will find them here:

I did try to address your question to the lead grub2 dev last night on 
irc, but he decided to go to bed at that point and suggested that I 
email it instead ;)

Maybe you would like to mail him directly, as you understand the issue 
better than I do.

He is Vladimir Serbinenko:
