Mine is:
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=dev c5f18a2c-ee16-454e-b85d-6d7f03b86532
set prefix=($dev)/grub2
export $prefix
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg

Note the difference in the "search" line.  Mine does not have the
--root-dev-only argument.  Other than that they appear to be the same
(other than the UUID of course),  Try editing that out?
I am really stunned now - thank you for this shot in the dark!
I have checked/rechecked three times:
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg with flag "--root-dev-only": grub goes to
prompt, $prefix is obviously not set.
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg without "--root-dev-only": grub menu is
displayed, $prefix is correctly set to (hd0,1)/grub2.
After that I think you are deeper into grub2 than my experience goes.
I.e., is $dev getting set correctly? etc.
Well, I am deeper into grub2 since two day or so. The discussion in this
thread (and further reading induces) gave me a faint insight.
(I really was a fan of the ancient grub and its simple possibility to
add custom splash pictures to the grub menu:
http://www.schragehome.de/splash/ - but that is truely outdated).

Some googling about "--root-dev-only" showed that it has been introduced
in very recent grub packages (mine are 2.06-118) to cure a certain
vulnerability (CVE-2023-4001). I found a bugzilla about that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2263369

So I am not sure if this is a real solution, but for me at least a
viable workaround.
Thanks to all who contributed!
