Yes that's the point. I have attempted to debug:
grub_open fails on /boot/grub/menu.lst

But when I mount my iso image, it is there:

$ ls /mnt/boot/grub/
menu.lst         stage2_eltorito

I finally found out that it is grub does not support the iso9660 filesystem.

I have added it to the list of supported ones and it works.
That is a little bit annoying to have to do it manually.

On your branch it is explicitly deselected when configured, whereas it 
was configured by default on mainstream.

I think it could be could to :
1) Set the supported FS as choices in xconfig
2) Make iso9660 automatically selected when an iso image must be built
