I have built a test package for grub2, which is available here:

It contains http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=e20aa39ea4298011ba716087713cff26c6c52006 mentioned in comment #4.

I did the following to test that the test package fixes the problem:

1) gcloud compute instances create test-3072-xenial --image daily-ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20190731 --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud-devel --boot-disk-size 3072
2) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mruffell/lp1840686-test
3) sudo apt-get update
4) sudo apt remove grub-common grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed grub-pc-bin grub2-common
5) sudo apt install grub-common grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-pc-bin grub2-common
6) sudo grub-install /dev/sda
7) sudo reboot

The instance started like normal and you can connect to it.
