I think that this happens during a rewrite of /etc/grub.conf

Not really, but there is something "funny" with the latest kernels.
and I suspect that bug 199014 is related.

You can try 'pkill new-kernel-pkg' from another shell, does not
matter if you are running yum or rpm directly, and that should allow
you to finish although you will get an error from a %post script.
You will need to edit /etc/grub.conf yourself but a corresponding
initrd is already created.

At least from what I have seen.
