OK so it appears to be a conflict between kernel 3.6.11-1 and GRUB 2.00 that I'm not clearly understanding, because adding to the confusion I just realized that one of the grub2's (mine or the prebaked one) was actually using a residual fedup vmlinuz-fedup kernel, which is actually kernel 3.6.6. So it seems at least there's a regression in nouveau occurring between grub2-efi and kernel 3.6.11, but not with 3.6.6.

grub-efi (legacy) can boot either kernel fine.
