Oddly I get this after I installed it.

/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `'.

And I kind of fixed it by removing the 'set -e' at the start
of the file.

After that, and with me removing the /boot/config-3.12.0 file
it generates an proper entry in grub.cfg for the Xen payload!
Yeey!

The other thing I saw was that the 'root' option for Linux
ended up being 'root=' instead of the 'root=UUID=blabla'.

See here:

if [ x"$grub_platform" != xxen \(  x"$grub_cpu" = xi386 -o x"$grub_cpu" = 
xx86_64 -o x"$grub_platform" = x \) ]; then
menuentry 'Fedora GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor' --class fedora --class 
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen $menuentry_id_option 
'xen-gnulinux-simple-' {
        insmod part_msdos 
        insmod ext2
        set root='hd0,msdos1'
        if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 
--hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1  
760e0266-1a60-4621-b332-0788cf687e33
        else
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 
760e0266-1a60-4621-b332-0788cf687e33
        fi
        echo    'Loading Xen xen ...'
        if [ "$grub_platform" = "pc" -o "$grub_platform" = "" ]; then
            xen_rm_opts=
        else
            xen_rm_opts="no-real-mode edd=off"
        fi
