grub-mkconfig produces an incomplete grub.cfg if the root partition is a logical volume.

The problem is that during the process grub-probe is called like the following:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/mapper/archlinux-root --target=hints_string

This returns code 1 and produces the following output:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot get the real path of `(null)'.

I think this problem was introduced in rev. 3714. A workaround is to edit grub-mkconfig_lib:

 - hints="`"${grub_probe}" --device "${device}" --target=hints_string 2> /dev/null`"
 + hints="`"${grub_probe}" --device "${device}" --target=hints_string 2> /dev/null || true`"

More details can be found in the Arch Linux bug tracker: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27985

System is Arch Linux x86_64, Kernel 3.2.2. The grub2 package in Arch Linux is built from rev. 3750.
