Sorry, I think it was more a result of missing the grub-pc-bin rather than the 
double slash ending up in the expanded path, though I still think it would be a 
code improvement to remove the trailing slash on a variable set to a directory.

For what it's worth, my specific error was this prompt when initiating grub 
stage2:
error: file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
grub rescue>

The i386 modules were not being included in the grub core.img because they 
didn't exist or weren't found...I think it was actually because they didn't 
exist at all in /usr/lib/grub, not because of the double slash.

What do you mean by "eventually". I cannot confirm this error, since it works 
for me. Can you please specify, in which situation this error occurs? Any error 
real message available?
