I fully understand GRUB developers are not quite keen to touch GRUB Legacy code these days, but over at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-legacy.en.html is stated that "Only bugfixes will be made so that GRUB Legacy can still be used for older systems." To me, the issue I filed in CentOS is still a bug (of a kind), and that's why I was hoping this to be fixed directly in GRUB upstream. It could be I just didn't get the above statement right. Switching to other distro is not an option for me (and the company I work for).
