You've noted that reiserfs and xfs behave differently from ext4 here.
The reason for this is that GPT disks ordinarily require you to dedicate
a partition to boot loader code (as distinct from the MBR format where
boot loader code was often stuffed into unused space in a rather risky
way). In your

If I re-install over a system that was installed using 'guided: entire
disk' partitioning and simply re-format the ext4 root partition as an
xfs partition, the grub installation error does not re-occur.
The system still fails to boot, however, which seems to be a different
bug (bug 856763).

That's interesting, because it is not necessary to create any additional
partition when I do manual partitioning with an ext4 filesystem. I've
posted some install logs about that in bug 856763 .
I still believe this bug here to be unique because it causes grub to
fail to install, which does not oc

The bios_grub partition is not automatically created simply by virtue of
leaving some blank space. If you're using manual partitioning, you do
need to set it up by hand.
That said, it's still a bug that GRUB is failing hard in this case, just
a less serious one.

In another installation, also with xfs, I left a 1-2 GB unpartitioned
space at the beginning of the disk (plenty of space for the bios_grub
partition), but grub again failed.
In another installation, I also tried the same patition layout as the
original bug report (first 4GB swap, 1-2 GB unpartiti
