Upstream grub-1.99~rc1 has this

xen_list=`for i in /boot/xen*; do
        if grub_file_is_not_garbage "$i" ; then echo -n "$i " ; fi

so it should be generic, and filing an upstream bug report will be more useful

RHEL5 uses /boot/xen.gz-4.0.1 naming convention. Granted RHEL5 doesn't
use grub2, but IMHO if you want to generalize better just:
- use /boot/xen*gz*
- only use files that are NOT symlink
