I thought you could boot by hand. Then all the UUIDs are available
to you in lsblk, the /dev/disk/ symlinks, etc. I would then transcribe
them into a 40_custom paragraph in grub.cfg so you can boot easily.
Then I would work on getting Grub to write its grub.cfg correctly.
In the meantime, 40_custom would stay put.

Cheers,
David.
