Thanks.  That's very annoying, because it makes no sense.

It could be that older versions of GRUB couldn't handle this syntax in the
parser.  Please could you verify that you're running the latest version?  With
-14 run grub-install and then check if the problem is still there.

If it's not that, the only thing that comes to mind is a memory corruption
bug that is merely exposed by moving the "search" command into a menuentry.
