You may need more to handle correctly this line:

  set default="${saved_entry}"

but this can be done in a separate patch.

Yes, there is this and 3 other issues that I was intending to submit as separate patches for. Briefly the other issues are
* Fedora 16 uses /boot/grub2 not /boot/grub
* the Fedora 16 grub2 configurations can have partitions references like (hd0,gpt2)
* Fedora 16 can have submenus
