Andy's pointed me at the code in question; it's clear that support is
simply missing.

Title:
  grub2 LVM support does not handle MD raid1 style mirrored volumes,
  completely ignoring such volumes

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  grub2 LVM support handles MD raid 4.5 and 6 but not raid1.  If you
  make your boot or root raid1 it is no longer able to even list the
  volumes.  It is therefore possible to boot your system, add a mirror,
  reboot and have no system at all.  I would guess raid1 would be a
  degenerate case of the mirror support that already exists.
