But this is not the problem I was actually reporting.
Please see the quote below:

The worse problem is that if you
set the flag to request the gfx mode
but in the multiboot header set the
mode parameters to 0 for auto, you
hope that in this case gfxpayload will
be used. Unfortunately this is not the
case: instead grub seems to be taking
the mode from EDID.

So would it be possible to reopen this?

If the image doesn't request any graphical mode it means that it doesn't understand lfb handoff. This is part of multiboot specification that loader has to go to text mode in this case

Hello.

If the multiboot loader is used,
gfxpayload seems to be completely
ignored. If the image does not
request the graphics mode, then
grub switches to text, regardless
of what gfxpayload says.
This is a problem but is tolerable.
