It won't. Grub doesn't know about RAID0 devices. You'll need to manually install grub on sdb if you want it on both drives.
Is this really such a big issue? Booting from sda should work just fine until sda dies, at which point you could switch the drives over, boot from the rescue CD and grub-install on the "new" sda. Depends on how much downtime you can take, I suppose.
