No, you don't; if /boot is a separate partition, then boot_prefix=/boot will
map to /boot/boot, which doesn't exist.

So the unambiguously preferable search order is "/boot /"; in some cases
this will give an extra directory lookup, but it should never cause the
bootloader to get confused by stray files in /boot vs. / on the root
filesystem.
