I assume that lack of response means that the bug was fixed in the latest version.

Can you retry with 2.00~beta2?

My setup is as follows:
Debian wheezy:
grub-mkimage -v
1.99-14
mdadm -V
mdadm - v3.2.3 - 23rd December 2011,
lvm version
LVM version: 2.02.88(2) (2011-08-19)
Library version: 1.02.67 (2011-08-19)
Driver version: 4.22.0

I have a 8-disk RAID6 with gpt and protective mbr partition table and 2 partitions on each disk:
1 40 1953521031 2700 GiB FD00 Linux RAID
2 1953521032 1953525134 2.0 MiB EF02 BIOS boot partition

Then the big partitions make a RAID, on which I again have a gpt-protective-mbr partition table, with 2 partitions - /boot and encrypted PV for an LVM group containing all the rest of the system.

Problem description:
When the RAID is clean, everything is fine and the system boots.
When it is degraded, the boot ends in "grub rescue" mode with "error: invalid arch independent ELF magic".
The prefix is set correctly, so is root, I can see the contents of the /grub directory on the /boot partition, I can load crypto, gzio, ext2, all the raid modules load with no problem. But when I try to load normal or lvm modules, I get the 'invalid ELF' again.

Any idea what may be wrong?
