It may be invalid, but how is the average user to know that?
All I did was to stop typing without hitting return at the end of the last line.
This can be fixed with one "echo", so why leave it potentially broken?

configuration file without a \n at the end is invalid. 40_custom doesn't have to be able to parse invalid files.

If the last line in 40_custom has no line-feed, then grub-mkconfig appends the 40_custom section footer to the end of the line breaking the command.

Example:-
set menu_color_highlight=yellow/blue### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###
