Yes. Just happened to me.

"/boot/grub2/" is almost empty after the upgrade except for
"grub.cfg", "devicemap.lst.anacbak", and "locale/". "grub2-install
/dev/sda /dev/sdb" while booted from Anaconda's rescue mode
repopulated the directory.

There's a part of the preuninstall scriplet that deletes all ".mod",
".img" and ".lst" files from "/boot/grub2/" that might somehow be
responsible.
