grid-system + \newenvironment + \lrbox => no way

I've struggled to make a pair of environments that would extend Row and Cell environments, but also employing \lrbox (aka LaTeX's \savebox) for the Cell contents.

I have tried multiple approaches, but failed, as illustrated:

%% -*- tex-compile-commands: (("latexmk -pdflatex='xelatex' -pdf %f && evince %r.pdf" "%f" "%r.pdf")) -*-
%% \documentclass{beamer}
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{grid-system}

\newsavebox{\xbox}

%%% Savebox: expected result
\newenvironment{context.sb}
{}
% ...               
{}

\newenvironment{entry.sb}
{\begin{lrbox}{\xbox}}
% ...
{\end{lrbox}%

 \usebox{\xbox}}

%%% Grid system, try 1: usage commented out, doesn't compile:
%%% LaTeX Error: \begin{Cell} on input line 97 ended by \end{entry.gs1}.
%%% l.99   \end   {entry.gs1}
\newenvironment{context.gs1}
{\begin{Row}}
% ...               
{\end{Row}}

\newenvironment{entry.gs1}
{\begin{Cell}{1}}
% ...
{\end{Cell}}

%%% Grid system, try 2: OK, expected result
\newenvironment{context.gs2}
{\Row}
% ...               
{\endRow}

\newenvironment{entry.gs2}
{\Cell{1}}
% ...
{\endCell}

%%% Savebox + Grid system, try 1: cell contents missing!
\newenvironment{context.sb.gs1}
{\begin{Row}}
% ...               
{\end{Row}}

\newenvironment{entry.sb.gs1}
{\begin{lrbox}{\xbox}}
% ...
{\end{lrbox}%

 \begin{Cell}{1}%
   \usebox{\xbox}%
 \end{Cell}}

%%% Savebox + Grid system, try 2: usage commented out, doesn't compile:
%%% LaTeX Error: \begin{entry.sb.gs2} on input line 135 ended by \end{context.sb.gs2}.
%%% l.141 \end   {context.sb.gs2}
\newenvironment{context.sb.gs2}
{\Row}
% ...               
{\endRow}

\newenvironment{entry.sb.gs2}
{\begin{lrbox}{\xbox}}
% ...
{\end{lrbox}%

 \Cell{1}%
   \usebox{\xbox}%
 \endCell}

@bitzl, note how the obvious approach to define an extended environment fails in "Grid system, try 1".
