From what I'm told, this is a pmon issue affecting all releases before 1.4.3.
If grub is booted via boot.conf on a system with a pmon version before 1.4.3 it needs args to contain something (anything) in order to successfully boot. Since this seems to be a pmon bug, unless its something that grub should work around, i guess this could be closed.
