be the culprit?  If yes, what's the correct way to get that permanently out?

Yes, and same answer as the previous.

Here we go...

-bash.2[~]: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...

Found Windows 7 on /dev/sda2
Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ...
done

I'm back.
The unwanted memory test entry is gone from the grub menu.  The grub.cfg lines that I pasted into my previous post are gone.

The sda2 windows-7 entry is still in the grub menu, and the corresponding lines are still in grub.cfg.  I get the impression from the grub2-mkconfig output that deleting those lines from grub.cfg won't help; they'll just be restored.  That menu entry is active, but when I select it, the windows-7 boot starts, and later gets stuck.  I believe that that problem is out of the scope of this thread, so I'll go no further with it.  The sda1 windows-7 entry works fine.

What I started this thread for is fixed, so I'm tagging this thread SOLVED.  I thank everyone who tried to help.


Bill.

Windows has a startup partition as well as the main partition, windows starts from the first. The grub2-mkconfig process picks up both. You can delete it from grup2.cfg with a text editor. With the current primary grub menu generation by blscfg usage grub2.cfg rarely gets rebuilt on updates so the change will stay.
