Tests with multi-OS installations (up to 3 installations of bookworm,
trixie and sid all mixed together) on multi-disk (2 disks) worked fine here.


BTW - one glitch:
I have noticed, that the first (temporarily) os-prober run, which is executed
to determine if the installed machine is a multi-boot machine (and if therefore
os-prober should be run in the future automatically) detects all OS'es on the
machine (according to the syslog), but it does not show the OS names in the
UI dialog.
This is however only a cosmetic issue; continuing the installation process
shows the OS names in the second os-prober run just fine, and leads to a 
GRUB menu with all 3 OS'es correctly set up. 
See the attached screenshots of the two os-prober runs.
However, I could verify this behaviour in current daily built images as
well, so this is nothing, what the "remove grub-legacy support" changes
can be made responsible for...


So all good on the "remove grub-legacy support" front IMO.


Holger
