it's not default, but could be. That said it's only a partial solution, because the problem is often when grub install fails *the first time* and there is no kernel atm.
Many newcomers go to the forums asking for help. After installation of Linux, their computer will not boot, not windows, not Linux. Those that ask have some other computer, or go to a friends or something. Others reformat with windows only. Almost every week there is a problem like this. It gets tiring, because you have to extract information from them about the partitioning, then tell them to repair grub using command line... not easy. And every week the same problem, many don't read previous solutions or don't know how to apply them, need hand holding. I don't think devs here are aware of the problem.
there are two things pretty easy to do, patching the *rescue* option:
* add some script to take care of the mount -bind (dev, sys, proc), really impossible to manage by a newbie;
