Then try running it manually. Something like

pygrub -i /path/to/your/domU/root/fs/image

... then watch what happens. If it spits out errors, try to work on that.

If it seem to hang with high cpu usage, most likely the fs isn't
supported (I think I have a version somewhere that doesn't even
support ext4, only ext2/3).

It might be the case that pygrub got confused with nested menus. In
that case you can try creating a grub.cfg manually, or create
/boot/grub/menu.lst (i.e. old-style grub1 config) manually.
