Yes, I've been manually running that too, but the resuling grub.cfg
file from when I manually regenerate it is subtly different from the
grub.cfg generated after automatically installing a new kernel ...

The one generated by manually running grub2-mkconfig creates a Xen
submenu with all the various kernels under it, whereas after
installing a new kernel, the one generated has all the xen + kernels
in the top level menu.

I've submitted a bug with a patch to make the /etc/20_linux_xen helper
script ignore the symbol files and symbolic links, if there's no need
for the symbolic links the patch could be even simpler.
