This part here won't work. GRUB doesn't look for an OF variable named
"debug" (technically such a thing does not exist, according to IEEE1275), but
rather a commandline argument. So you would do this:
0 > boot debug=all
or even
0 > boot floppy debug=all
... but in this particular case, the crash is very very early, and also we
already got our helpful debugging message.

This is telling us that GRUB attempted to claim some memory for its heap (at
that address and that length), but some of it was already in use, so the
request failed.
From the OF prompt, before you boot GRUB, could you do the following and send
the output:
0 > dev /[EMAIL PROTECTED]
0 > .properties
In particular, the "available" property is the one I'm interested in. That
will tell us what areas of memory are considered free...
