i thought this pickle was because the installer wouldn't handle it.
quite likely grub would be happy enough inside the raid.  if you feel
safer or happier with grub inside the raid, you can probably put it
there.  but if you (or the update process) create /boot inside the
raid, bootup will still come from un-updated partition outside the
raid, until you "grub-install" for your new /boot.  or if you want to
leave your boot partition where it is, again, then you want to get the
updating to happen with the copy the gpt-mbr points to, iow have it in
fstab and mounted as /boot.
