/sbin/grub2-mkconfig is just a shell script. grub.cfg.new is the temporary
file it uses for creating and verifying the new config file. Based on your
output quoted above you could find out where the script stops unexpectedly
and without printing an error message. Especially if the problem is
reproducible for you, it shouldn't be difficult to debug the script.
