Yes, I used to use a self-made spash image; it shows a Windows-Logo-like
stickers saying "Windows Vista incapable" with a Tux in it. :)
Anyways, the file was missing, so I commented out the line, but to no avail.
I tried a temporary grub.conf with the bare essentials (just one entry), and
it didn't help either.
Booting the same disk in qemu yields the same thing. So I gather it must be
some borkage in grub itself. Perhaps I could try an older version, there are
so many available right now.

That's the way I used to too also. Very strange this all...
