I have seen what I suspect is another one though I haven't
investigated fully yet to confirm it. I think that if you delete a
kernel with a xen entry it can remove a submenu opening clause but
not the corresponding closing } which is bad if you have the xen
hypervisor installed in a guest as it upsets pygrub.
Yeah, that's 744717. The bug isn't incredibly clear and I didn't do a
very good job of summarizing it. If you look at the before and
after grub.cfg files, you can see it though.
How often would that happen in a guest? I don't think that I have
submenu entries in any of my DomUs.
