Is this problem known upstream?

With LILO, no. LILO must be rewritten with every change in lilo.conf.
GRUB, on the contrary, must not be rewritten after modifying grub.conf,
because it can read the ext2/ext3 fs directly to load its config file.

If you're interested in where grubby is executed, take a look at
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg which is called by the "kernel" package scriptlets.
