I've found the problem. It's from your patch commited in December.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/commit-grub/2006-12/msg00002.html
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/grub2/normal/main.c?cvsroot=grub&r1=1.18&r2=1.19
The code block from main.c in function read_config_file() is where things start:
if (nested)
grub_env_set_data_slot ("menu", newmenu);
else
newmenu = grub_env_get_data_slot ("menu");
The path taken is the "else" path. So it's doing
grub_env_get_data_slot ("menu") .. well the problem is "menu" is never
set anywhere.
The calling order is:
grub_normal_execute()
grub_readconfig_file()
grub_env_get_data_slot()
Though I'm very confused of how to exactly fix this with the logic in the patch.

I will try it out and get some output from it.
