I know the problem since a few months and even sent a first patch in
June for my nvidia dmraid devices to upstream.

But the problem is that the internal design used by grub-probe to map
Linux devices to GRUB devices doestn't work with any non real harddisk
devices like dmraid and multipath.
For LVM/mdraid we don't need to do this as we have native support for
them.

That discussion is here:

For me this is just not a high priority.
