This was fixed some time ago.  Installing grub to a btrfs partition
works fine in 14.04.

Title:
  grub2: btrfs: does not install core.img to boot block

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in grub2 source package in Natty:
  Won't Fix
Status in grub2 source package in Oneiric:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  btrfs reserves the first 64kiB for boot loaders as its CoW (Copy-On-
  Write) features mean that a file may change logical blocks.  This area
  may also be referred to as the "embed area", "embedded area" or
  "embedding area", depending on the context.  core.img must be
  installed to this area to ensure that other files may be read
  appropriately.

  This depends on (LP: #757446) which has already been fixed.  A patch
  resolving this has seen some testing already.
