I ran into this as well. update-grub complains and fails. Although
grub-install does work IF and only IF you are mirroring. You could get
update-grub to work properly to *IF* you temporarily change the /boot
definition in /etc/fstab. I do use a separate partition for /boot for of
habit and forces me to clean up excessive kernels laying around.

I currently have 2 machines setup this way and it does work. It is only
a pain if you forget to make the temp change while installing a new
kernel.

It shouldn't be this much of a pain... but then, Windows does make this
situation of chosen operation impossible to do.
