After a month of asking how to get dual boot working, on this list,

sadly conclude that Fedora has followed the Windows route and doesn't
recognize other OS.
Well, may-be you're asking the wrong questions?
At least I don't understand what you are asking.
All I can say, I have several multi-boot installations working,
comprising Fedora (17, 18), openSUSE, Ubuntu and Win8.
What I did not do, was to install F18 from scratch - I upgraded a
preexisting F17 installation to F18.
Tried with XP, or Win7, or BSD, or FC17, all having their own
partition(s). None worked, none were recognized, pasting grub2 stanzas
from previous working OS failed to boot completely.
Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say.
Are you trying to utilize one single /boot partition with one single
grub for a multiboot setup? From my experience, this has never actually
worked. My trick to circumvent this is to use cascaded grubs
(chain-loading OSes).
