The restored from backup /boot shows enough inodes:

# df -i /dev/sda10
Filesystem     Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda10      12048    42 12006    1% /boot

# du --inodes /boot
1	/boot/lost+found
26	/boot/grub
33	/boot

I think there are enough inodes in the partition, but apparently not enough 
space.
