Thank you Vladimir for the theory about Grub loading the _correct_ Linux kernel file and the _correct_ initrd file, but Linux then going on to use the wrong partition. I can rest a lot more easy with that theory; mine was kind-of paranormal.
What would be a situation where I boot Grub off my thumb drive and Grub doesn't consider the thumb drive the first hard disk? I'm not 100% certain if we are on the same page with the whole normal mod thing. I built an EFI image file, and the EFI actually interprets the filesystem this file is on and actually boots the file, rather than raw-reading code off the hard drive, like from the MBR and the rest of track0. I don't see what grub-install would do for me in this situation, since the only purpose it has that I know of is to raw-write Grub code to non-file places on the hard drive such as track0. I compiled Grub 1.99 from source, built an EFI image file with grub-mkimage, and copied the files over. If I don't compile normal.mod into the image with grub-mkimage, how do I get Grub to load my config file? I'll try again with the vertical space thing. Maybe it went away from 1.98 to 1.99.
