Thanks for reporting this, AnrDaemon! I'm not shure where exactly the
issue is, probably grub script should be modified in a way that if it
detects that the ESP on the raid it looks into /proc/mdstat and iterates
the process with all the component devices. Or it should pass some extra
args to efibootmgr, as reported :)

Title:
  grub-install breaks when ESP is on raid

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I run a server with mirrored (RAID1) disks using grub-efi.

  Root and /boot and /boot/grub are on mirrored partitions.

  I have EFI partitions on both disks but it is not possible to RAID1
  these as they are FAT32.  On an EFI system grub-install will only
  install to one of the EFI partitions and so after running install-grub
  you have to remember to copy the EFI file across.

  Could grub configuration and grub-install be amended to automatically
  install to multiple disks?

  Searching around there seem to be many people asking this question
  without any elegant solution.
