I recently switched my BIOS from legacy to EFI mode and therefore needed to replace grub by grub2-efi. As I do not like garbage in /etc, I removed all grub configuration files (rpm -qca grub\*) before uninstalling the old package. Unfortunately /etc/default/grub is just a %shadow file and it is created by Anaconda during installation. Not by any grub\* package.
On my BIOS-based F17 that was upgraded from earlier Fedora install, /etc/default/grub is owned by the package grub2-tools, so your problem appears to be solved moving forward, because grub2 is taking over. I think you are saying that old grub-based systems may not register this file in any package---but I just checked on a RHEL 5 and 6 series that they don't have this file at all. Is it possible that an unconnected /etc/default/grub was a transitory thing that appeared briefly sometime after F12 and is fixed by F17/grub2?
