This error happened to me too when I tried to upgrade to f29 about a week
ago. fedora boot item is still there, but fails silently, and boot falls
back to second item (Windows 10 in my case). Only reinstalling older
versions of grub2 and shim from f28 "fixed" it.

So the intermittently broken grub2/shim version theory seems plausible.
Upgrading to f29 results in a booting system now.

(Side note, fedora 29 continues to be unusable for me because of gdm/gnome
issues with the nvidia driver, and nouveau is ... not good on 1000 series
cards.)
