grub-probe in the proposed package manages to actually use multipath's /dev/mapper/* files. Comparing /boot/grub/grub.cfg from this grub package to the one using blkid in place of grub-probe produces the following diff:

I'm having some trouble getting reliable good boots on the system, but I don't think that's due to this grub package. So as long as having grub.cfg call an ext4 fs 'ext2' is ok (and adding the 'set root=' line, for some reason) I would call this confirmed.
