I thought I had already done this but just to make sure, I've done it
again - no effect.

If there is really some kind to self-test going on, it's invisible to
smartctl. A short self-test showed no errors, either.

I'll look out for firmware updates for that disk and will buy a small
SD/MMC/CF-card for testing. Maybe I'll also ask the Grub-guys whether
they have any ideas.

Thanks anyway! At least I know it's not just me who is confused by this
behavior.
