I should clarify that I think there are three bugs here:

1) Installation to a second hard disk shouldn't default to installing grub to the first without any alternatives.

2) If anything is written to the first hard disc's MBR (e.g. updating MBR to say boot from second disc so BIOS boot order doesn't need to be changed by user?), it shouldn't make it non-bootable.

3) Writing to a second hard disc's MBR should work if chosen/in rescue mode. Even playing with grub-installer manually I can't make the second disk boot.

Using --recheck lists the drives in the right order.
