From my experience, grub-install completes successfully on non-ext file-systems, but then fails to retrieve the necessary data from /boot on boot. My solution to this (because XFS is my favourite filesystem next to ReiserFS) has been to use ext2 for /boot and XFS for / and /home. I can confirm this configuration works tickety-boo- I use it on my Jessie box at the moment.
