of course, and I do not think it is so hard to think of a sensible behaviour.

After each (semi)automatic change to grub/kernel conf as well as for the very first 
boot there should be a timeout as well as visible menu.
Once the kernel did boot with default command line etc it would be safe to set 
the timeout to a small value - after asking the user. 

More elaborate solution, there could be two config values - quicktimeout and 
safetimout.
After kernel and config changes timeout would be changed to safetimout and once 
the kernel booted safely it could be reset to quicktimeout automatically.
