Presumably the current linux kernel drivers can adequately handle XFS in it's preferred order (I would assume so as I use XFS on a partition on my home server). Given this I believe the parent poster was simply lamenting that Grub2 doesn't just use this same behavior and has implemented a driver that's not following the appropriate standard leading to problems.
Without knowing anything about Grub's code I would say it shouldn't be that difficult to change the Grub2 behavior to the proper methodology without significant speed impacts because the kernels already got all that sorted out. The problem is likely that the Grub2 project isn't sexy, has limited contributors and it's not a popular issue, the single greatest weakness of getting any problem addressed in open source when you can't fix it yourself. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
