This happens when the system shell is bash rather than dash. The behaviour
of printf when the format string contains the character sequence \' is
unspecified.
Adding an extra layer of quotation and making sure that everything that uses
it goes through printf (so that that extra layer is consistently removed) is
easy. I added a gettext_printf function to help with this, which is briefer
and involves fewer nested layers of open-coded quotation.
The tricky bit is making sure that xgettext understands what's going on!
Adding --keyword=gettext_printf is obvious, but I noticed along the way
that we weren't setting c-format flags so that translations were checked
for the right number of %s entries and the like. I tried adding
--flag=gettext_quoted:1:c-format --flag=gettext_printf:1:c-format, but
it turns out that xgettext refuses to include c-format flags for strings
it extracted from a shell file. Whoops. Since we already had a
modified version of po/Makefile.in.in, I changed it a bit further to fix
things up with sed.
Finally, xgettext refuses to extract strings from here-documents (which
I think is probably a bug, and if I can manage to write a reduced test
case for it I'll report it to the gettext maintainers). Thus, I
extracted translatable strings from here-documents and used a temporary
variable for them instead.

* util/grub-mkconfig_lib.in (gettext_quoted): Add clarifying
comment. Add an extra layer of quotation, requiring the output of
this function to be used in a printf format string.
(gettext_printf): New function.
* util/grub.d/10_hurd.in: Use gettext_printf where appropriate.
Extract translatable strings from here-documents and use a temporary
variable instead, so that xgettext can find them.
* util/grub.d/10_kfreebsd.in: Likewise.
* util/grub.d/10_linux.in: Likewise.
* util/grub.d/20_linux_xen.in: Likewise.
* po/grub.d.sed: New file.
* po/Makefile.in.in ($(DOMAIN).pot-update): Extract gettext_printf
arguments. Set c-format flags on all strings extracted from
util/grub.d/ (xgettext refuses to include these itself for strings
it extracted from a shell file, but these really are c-format).
