No mdraid either :) The machine that has mdraid does have GPT partition 
table and there weren't problems with it. :)
In fact it is loading more modules but core is smaller:

# LANG=C grub-install -v /dev/sdb 2>&1 |grep reading
grub-install: info: reading /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/kernel.img.

# ls -l /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32677 feb 20 16:01 /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img

Seems a compression problem ¿?
