I found the cause of this second problem and committed a fix to GRUB upstream:

        * grub-core/boot/i386/pc/lnxboot.S (real_code_2): Ensure that the
        initial chunk read from the kernel always includes GRUB's multiboot
        header, which is now outside the first sector.

This successfully boots into wubildr, at last! I'm now going to go back, clean everything up, and check that the previous bug still manifests after this fix.
