On my BIOS-based F17 that was upgraded from earlier Fedora install, 
/etc/default/grub is owned by the package grub2-tools, so your problem 
appears to be solved moving forward, because grub2 is taking over. I 
think you are saying that old grub-based systems may not register this 
file in any package---but I just checked on a RHEL 5 and 6 series that 
they don't have this file at all. Is it possible that an unconnected 
/etc/default/grub was a transitory thing that appeared briefly sometime 
after F12 and is fixed by F17/grub2?
