My suggestion would be : not really anywhere, but in core.img. I
understand this would increase core.img's size by one block, which could
be a major drawback for older system. So, the inclusion of the
environment block into core.img should be controlled by a
"--grubenv-incore" parameter in grub-install. And this parameter could
also be discarted if there is not enough available room.
grub's load_env and save_env commands, linux grub-install and
grub-editenv commands should be the only ones to be modified.
If this suggestion fits you, I'm sure you will find a way to assume
compatibility with the current situation.

I do not understand your question. I was refering to something similar
to the bash "builtin" builtin. Bash manual reads :

          builtin [shell-builtin [args]]

Run a shell builtin, passing it args, and return its exit status. This
is useful when defining a shell function with the same name as a shell
builtin, retaining the functionality of the builtin within the function.
The return status is non-zero if shell-builtin is not a shell builtin
command.
