Invoking ‘grub-install’ with “--core-compress <anything>” produces the error message “Option should have been recognized!?”.
(Passing “--core-compress bogus” was just the quickest way of demonstrating that the option parsing error was fixed. It also seems to be functioning as intended:
…invokes “grub-mkimage --compression none”, as expected.) |

Yep, you'll be happy to hear this has been known for at least 3 years along with the solution. See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2018-09/msg00018.html
I actually created a patch many months ago implemented similar to what you describe, but haven't sent it to the mailing list yet. May be I'll get around to it soon.
