Slightly changed the sequence: I know that. I remember I did several boots and on each, just after closing/saving gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub, ctrl+alt+t then up arrow <change>(to recall sudo update-grub from ~/.bash_history - not waiting the terminal was opened) then enter</change>, then reboot to test if the bootdelay option was enough or too long until I find the exact amount of seconds needed. As I experienced this several times, I thought it was a story of responsiveness of the system and decided to fill this bug. I'll try to reproduce. Feel free to set back to hidden/security issue.
