It looks at the existing "old" kernel entry to use as a guide for inserting a new entry for the new kernel. It fails because it doesn't understand subvolumes.

Upstream only supports GRUB2 to the point they call it GRUB, and if you ask GRUB legacy questions on any of their lists they tell you to upgrade, then re-ask the question.
