How exactly MBR signature or GPT GUID help here?
Not at all. At least grub has no concept of "use partition where the files actually reside". Instead it has some odd device.map.
grub2 is (most likely) not any better.
I didn't say that grub2 can handle those IDs. But in general, why shouldn't it be possible to tell a bootloader to install on the disk with a specific ID? That would be nice since the ID does not change like the by-id links sometimes do.
