I just had a look inside syslog, and you learn something new every day it seems:
It would appear that installing grub onto an XFS logical partition is disallowed, and this is the underlying cause of the Python stack trace? I believe bug is still valid however; the installer should catch the failure and not crash with the integer error message.

Installing GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION if valuable data is overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this check, use at your own risk).
