This is more an 'unsupported hardware' bug than a grub related bug.

The eMMC errors are already reported in this bug report :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1422338

But I'm not sure why grub-installer failed.
If the eMMC is not working as expected then why the install doesn't fail sooner ?
