Let's get a quick poll going here.
I use ext3, jfs and reiserfs on various systems. Well, I wanted to try xfs, but grub is not able to boot from it.
Grub can boot from XFS, it's just the fact that grub-install freezes your filesystem when doing that on an XFS filesystem. Copying the files by hand and installing grub by hand in the MBR should work (and be sure to install in MBR, installing in /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda will corrupt your XFS partition because XFS stores important data at that place)
