Is the Fedora grub support btrfs now?
In this page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemRollbackWithBtrfs
I got the following information:
(deferred) a patch to grub1 -- on top of the already existing patch to
support btrfs in grub1 -- to allow selecting between snapshots of the
boot partition.
