"GRUB" on boot after last night's rawhide updates

I did all the rawhide updates (with --exclude=4.0.0-8\*, of course)
last night. When I went to boot my computer this morning, it just said
"GRUB "
and stopped there. I booted the rescue CD and redid grub-install on my
main hard drive, and now things are working again.

I have no idea what happened, or how to track it down; did this happen
to anyone else? If not, I'll just chalk it up to the phase of the moon
or something.
