Can't confirm.

These are the steps I've tested with on Fedora 20:

1) In /etc/default/grub I've set

  GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=false

2) I've run  "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"  to create the
  grub.cfg with submenus.

3) I've saved grub.cfg as ~/grub.cfg.MKCONFIG

4) I've run  "yum --enablerepo=rawhide install kernel"  to add the kernel
  package from Rawhide.

5) I've run  "diff -u ~/grub.cfg.MKCONFIG /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"  to display
  the differences.

What has changed in grub.cfg?

 * a new "menuentry" block for the new kernel at the top
 * removed trailing whitespace at the end of "linux" lines
 * replaced double-quote characters with single-quotes in menuentry blocks

Upon  "yum history undo …"  only the added menuentry block was removed
again.
