hmm, nobody replied for a week, I regoogled and found
the following:
http://fixunix.com/debian/336524-bug-463123-grub-does-not-support-256-byte-in
odes-ext3.html
which refers to a patch from the Fedora community:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/grub/grub-support-256byte-inode.pa
tch?view=markup
which in turn depends on a larger patch:

I know, Grub legacy should fade away and the developers want to get
rid of it, but since it is still used a lot, and Grub 2 still lacks
serious documentation (afaik, if I only have been unable to discover
the documentation, I'll be glad for any pointer at least there is none
in grub-1.96.tar.gz), I would really appreciate, if these patches could
be incorporated into the subversion tree ...
I think that grub-1.96 already supports that inode sizes.
I did include the SuSE patch in my own grub legacy fork (super grub
disk) but it also depended on another patch.
However it is easy to adapt it to grub legacy nude.
Can't you use chainload to chainload each distribution's grub so that
each one of the grubs understands each own ext3 systems?

Or are you one of these that compile the software from trusted sources? ;)
Depending on my spare time and if you insist too much I might send here
a patch here for this issue.
