Jepp, the fact that grub's PBR feature is still broken is really sad
(and personally I don't think this will be fixed ever by grub's
developers...).

So the only workaround is to use --grub-mbr as suggested by grml2usb.

Using dd you just write the ISO to disk, this will override any
existing data of course but isn't really a matter of the filesystem.
