grub-install does not work when --root-directory option is used and the target is the same partition. As workaround it is possible to revert to code from last year just like attached patch. |

Actually this should be fixed in trunk now too.
I added make_system_path_relative_to_its_root() to grub-setup.
And when I tested it it worked for me. (And revealed some strangeness with ntfs-3g and our ntfs code)
