I finally found the the root cause of this issue on grub-devel mailing list.

Now I wonder if there is any chance to make the xen hypervisor aware of
this behavior change in grub2.
Kind regards,
Marco

So they've stopped passing the kernel name as a first element of the command
line, but haven't allocated a new flag or anything to indicate that new
behaviour? What are we supposed to do to detect it and act on it?

Looks like you're supposed to provide your own dummy first arg, like a '.'
or something, if booting something that assumes first arg is the kernel
name. Seems pretty stupid and unnecessary to change the behaviour I must
say. GRUB sucks.
