The grub maintainer is telling you that the way in which you're trying
to use grub is broken. You *need* to use the grub files that are in
guest, not the host. This will be even more true with grub 2. It's not a
matter of disliking the approach, it's a matter of it being demonstrably
technically incorrect.
There's nothing technically incorrect about the approach, demonstrably
or otherwise, if the version of grub in the guest and host is
compatible.
Cheers,
Mark.
