Thanks Rafael, Andreas and everybody for the great work done here! I successfully tested your fix as follows:
1. Followed the steps in the original description of this bug up the point where the installer tries to install grub to /dev/mapper and fails.
2. Replaced /target/usr/sbin/grub-mkdevicemap with the one extracted from the grub-common package in your PPA.
3. Retried the "install boot loader" installer step.
4. Success!
Funny how the original grub-mkdevicemap and your fixed version have the same size up to the byte.
