Yes, it was. The settings in grub.conf are supposed to override the kernel settings. But if the framebuffer is set in the kernel, naturally the kernel is going to start the framebuffer. It is, after all, the kernel, and the kernel is king of the hill. If you don't want a framebuffer, remove framebuffer support from your kernel config. Unless there's a setting in grub.conf to disable the previously-initialized framebuffer. If there was, you could use that, but I don't even know if such a setting exists, and seems like extra work in any case (enabling the framebuffer just to disable it with an override that may or may not work).
