If libguestfs had code to detect that the guest version was incompatible and failed gracefully with a nice explanation for the user, then there's no problem right? i.e. support it for compatible guest images, don't support it for others? But none of this has anything to do with grub conflicts. Either the conflict is correct or it isn't. If libguestfs can't detect the incompatibility, then that's a libguestfs problem ... it's nothing to do with grub or its package maintainers.
