You should use GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub instead, which
obviates the need for this. Now, that wouldn't have worked quite so
well in the version you reported this bug against; since then,
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true has been split out as a separate option, which
means you can use GRUB_DEFAULT=saved without necessarily implying that a
new default should be saved on every boot (useful with grub-reboot).
In other words, the semantics in 1.98 are:
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
use the saved entry as the default
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
when an entry is selected, save it as the next default
Let me know if this is inadequate.
Thanks,
