I've actually run into this bug, but I found with a little exploration 
that it's just a misplacement
of the cursor.  If you let the cursor be a line or so below the "linux" 
line and hit the "end" key
it will "logically" be the right place, but the cursor isn't in the 
right place, and one *can* change
the kernel parameters.

grub-2.00-rc1 is in the GNU repo, and it fixes most of the problems.  
robatino is tracking
the development and I hope the rc1 gomes in an update soon.

After yumming in the beta6 rpm, don't forget to grub2-install /dev/sd<x> 
to actually replace
the grub2 code on the disk.
