Solution:

See

http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition

I had to completely repartition the disk: Zero both disks, repeat the installation procedure as describe above, but create an additional small (128kb ... 1 MB) first and unused (!) partition on both disks. Then from the command line use parted to set the
bios_grub flag as described under http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition for both disks:

  $ sudo parted /dev/sda set <partition_number> bios_grub on

Then grub 2 can be installed as usually (and puts itself into this unused partition)
