Indeed the grub boot menu then appears at the primary monitor (VGA) as is it supposed to with only one monitor. But when I plug the secondary monitor back in, the grub boot menu is back on the secondary (HDMI) monitor. My hardware does not remember the last setting as yours do. It just uses the monitor connector to the HDMI port as the primary monitor.
