Grub does not support RAID5, only RAID1 and RAID0. So you've asked

The correct solution is to create a separate /boot partition.
As this is not an installer bug but user error (when you do manual
partitioning and use advanced options like RAID5 you're somewhat
expected
to know their limitations), I'm closing your report.
