Installing any bootloader without an embedded area requires blocklists
pointing to blocks on an active filesystem, which is unreliable and
insecure. It shouldn't be a surprise that it stopped working, as many
normal filesystem operations could have moved the blocks around, but
re-running grub-install should have fixed it again (at least
temporarily). What grub-install command did you run and what did it
output?
