None, that I'm aware of:

# LANG=C grub-install -v /dev/sda 2>&1|grep mod|grep reading
grub-install: info: reading /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/fshelp.mod.
grub-install: info: reading /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ext2.mod.
grub-install: info: reading /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/part_msdos.mod.
grub-install: info: reading /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/diskfilter.mod.
grub-install: info: reading /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/lvm.mod.
grub-install: info: reading /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/biosdisk.mod.

Is it reading the same modules for core.img in your machine?

Thanks
