This isn't recommended by upstream, and isn't supported by anaconda. So it requires a different installer touching the disk last, or manually issuing grub(2)-install --force. It's better to use extlinux for this use case though. > [Alternatively, since both are GRUB2, you > can let the primary grub.conf menu load a grub.conf from a secondary OS.] That's a better option. But Fedora grub should probably be used, as it seems the syntax of grub2 cfg files changes, and the newest version of grub installed as the bootloader can read either configfile.
