You need extra dependencies to create font unicode.pf2. Do you have
grub-mkfont binary created? If not, configure should have said in
summary what is missing. Otherwise it should just work.

That needs to be fixed, yes. Not nice.

grub-emu should just work once you have the font built.
grub-emu-lite ... someone would need to fix it to run from build
directory. Quick workaround is to do
address@hidden:~/build/grub> ln -s . grub-core/x86_64-emu
address@hidden:~/build/grub> ./grub-core/grub-emu-lite -d $PWD/grub-core
but you probably will have the same unifont issue.
