Yes, that's the problem. grub2 core.img with btrfs support exceeds 63 (actually 62) sectors and cannot be embedded in post-MBR - not enough space. Installation in extended partition is not possible because btrfs does not support blocklists (too advanced for it ...)
There is patch submitted to Factory that will install core.img in space reserved for bootloader on btrfs partition in this case while having master boot code in MBR. You can grab packages here

Aha! Thanks, Andrei. Perhaps the 13.2 install program should check on this factor before it attempts the full install... I may just try a new install on a different drive with 2048 (2047?) sectors up front as I may not be knowledgeable enough to deal with the patch. I will have a look at it however. Did this also cause the xfs problem or is that problem a totally different issue? Thanks again.
