Doesn't prove I'm right, but it's another data point. My laptop that
doesn't allow me to update grub2 configuration also has a start at
32.3kB like yours. The workstation that works starts at 1049kB.
Hopefully someone can confirm that my theory (that more room at the
beginning of the disk prior to the start of the first partition) is
needed in order for grub2-install to work or grub2-mkconfig to have any
effect) before I go through all the work of dumping, repartitioning, and
restoring.

yes, you need to leave 1MB free at begin of the disk
this means 2048 sectors x 512 kb (2048*512)

That partition is the /boot partition, and its 526MB. How feasible
would it be to backup /boot, reboot the install DVD in rescue mode,
delete and recreate the partition leaving the 1MB at the beginning, and
then restore the backed up partition? What would be the best program to
use for the repartitioning? Some time ago I did some repartitioning
using sfdisk, and it wasn't very pleasant, although I can probably work
out what I need to use that.
