It's possible to install Grub to a partition. So there could be one bootloader in the MBR and another bootloader chainloaded in the partition. Also for multiple partitions.
If we decide that this use case isn't supported, that's fine. Many other distros make the assumption that there's only one bootloader - which is sometimes good because you can have another bootloader the distribution doesn't know about (in addition to the one the distribution does know about) that supervises all the others.
Not sure how Grub finds its config file in the first place. Does Grub itself support that scenario? At least in my Libreboot BIOS I can chainload Grub from Grub - although I think the primary Grub is just picking up the secondary's config file and reloading or something.
