The latter. The diff to my last snapshot (from early January) is 6.6Mb
though - I wouldn't call this "hasn't changed much". Looks like Anthony
did update to 2.8.0 in early January (a day or two after I had last
snapshotted it).

Not so far. It appears to happen when grub clears the screen
before displaying its graphical menu, so I'd rather suspect an issue
with a graphics related change (the one you pointed out isn't).
