Oops, Guix breaks backward compatibility sometimes :-)
This is a limitation of 'grub-configuration' macro: that backtrace
happened because you have 'grub' field *not* in the first place of your
'grub-configuration'.

Note that this will work if you put (grub grub-efi) in the first place:
(grub-configuration (grub grub-efi)
(device "/dev/sda"))

You figured it out! I would stick to this variant instead of using
'grub-configuration' wrapper, but that's me :-)

I was affected as well, but I didn't consider it a bug, just a change in
the API. In the past, I had:
(grub-configuration (grub my-grub)
(device "/dev/sda")
(theme (grub-theme))))
And I replaced it with:
(bootloader-configuration
(bootloader (bootloader
(inherit grub-bootloader)
(name 'fake-grub)
(package my-grub)))
(device "/dev/sda")
(theme (grub-theme)))
