No that has nothing to do with the installation process.
The events are:
1) You install Fedora -- grub2-mkconfig creates a config that matches
the bootloader
2) The grub package gets updated / upgraded --- grub2-mkconfig is no
longer guaranted to generate a config file that works with the grub
that is actually installed (i.e you'd have to rerun grub2-install to
be sure).
Yes in most of the cases that works but it is fragile and therefore
dangerous to do that by default.
Can you list specific cases? It sounds awfully theoretical.
