Grub2 was using the same maximum monitor resolution as I'm using in the GUI, 1280x1024. For some reason the adjustment for the monitor is a bit different each time in grub, and the monitor can only handle one adjustment per resolution. I changed the grub2 settings so that the grub2 menu is shown in another resolution, (GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480), and the problem vanished.
