 When saving through a symlink at /boot/grub/menu.lst pointing to
 grub.conf, two nodes are created under /augeas/events/saved.

 This only happens in overwrite or noop save modes and only via
 /boot/grub/menu.lst, not /etc/grub.conf (perhaps it only affects symlinks
 with targets in the same directory).
