If I run "grub2-install /dev/sda6", I get:

/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or 
to a partition.  This is a BAD idea..
/sbin/grub2-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for 
cross-disk install.

--force makes no difference.

/dev/sda6 is actually part of a software RAID1; "grub2-install /dev/md3"
segfaults.  Somebody else has already put this in BZ as 788830.
