Reposting on Fedora list because it's not only 19 affected
I noticed this morning that when I run grub2-mkconfig from my fedora 19
partition, or from my 18 partition
it does not find all the kernels on a fedora 17 partition. There are 3
in Fedora 17 /boot...3.8.11, 3.8.13 and the latest
3.9.5. It finds only the 3.8.11 kernel. Grub was installed in /dev/sda
from the 19 partition; I have since re-installed
Grub from the 18 partition and the same problem exists.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?

It's all the same for the single values.
I just tested,
- grub2-2.00-15.fc18.x86_64
- grub2-2.00-22.fc19.i686
and no problemos at all as you described. ;)

Who's forgotten and what's forgotten!? :)
Figured you may have forgot to mention,
which version had it fixed.
I had used mock to do it for F18 myself,
and have no sub-menu.
I don't even use graphical boot, even with uefi-bios.
I even removed graphical boot when was on MSOS
I prefer to look at the writing passing me by.
But, I do have a red background during boot :)

did you only read about "GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true" or have
you tested it as well?
if you would have tested it you would know that grub2-mkconfig still
results in the cluttered "submenu 'Advanced options for Fedora'"
Read about it and tested it. The sub-menu in my version of Grub is
always there.

He forgot the version:

well, that may be a different story, this build is still
not on the mirrors, looked minutes ago and updates-testing
is always enabled here

Although your namesake mentions F17/18/19, he actually
alludes to the F19 - grub2-2.00-22.fc19 that already has that option.
Regarding F18 - grub2-2.00-15.fc18, there are instructions[1]. ;)

I wonder because the 4th comment dated June 23rd complains it's
still not in Fedora-updates.
My version shows only V 2.00.

Be more accurate when describing what you've done. Verify that you really
run
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and not use any symlink that would be replaced incorrectly.
Then, if you see all the kernels in that grub.cfg, figure out whether
they are visible in the top menu. Perhaps upload that grub.cfg to fpaste.
Of course, you need to be sure that it's the file that GRUB loads, so
insert something that would be displayed at boot-time, and verify it's
the file.
The first line of my post says ..."when I run grub2-mkconfig from my
Fedora 19 partition"...
No symlinks are involved.
Taking Pomas suggestion I simplified my /etc/default/grub.cfg to the
bare minimums and
in this convoluted way solved my problem. But all I get now is a bare
bones minimum menu...but
that's OK.
I suspect as another poster suggested here there are still a few
undocumented or badly documented
bugs/features in grub :)

Further to this....I checked the grub.cfg and the other kernels are in the list. But Grub
is not displaying
them when advanced options
is picked. It only displays the one kernel
the "advanced options" idea is broken by design and only clutters the menu
the reason is to not overload noobs with options while frustrate advanced users
