I get this too, on a FC8 box. 

I've stripped down my grub.conf to this:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.24.7-92.fc8)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24.7-92.fc8 ro root=LABEL=root
        initrd /initrd-2.6.24.7-92.fc8.img

A kernel update (via yum) runs:
/sbin/grubby --add-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.9-40.fc8 --initrd
/boot/initrd-2.6.25.9-40.fc8.img --copy-default --make-default --title Fedora
(2.6.25.9-40.fc8) --args=root=LABEL=root  --remove-kernel=TITLE=Fedora
(2.6.25.9-40.fc8)

Which produces:
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template

A strace on that command indicates that the last thing grubby does is write out
a new /etc/blkid/blkid.tab
I can get grubby to create a new entry without complaining if I remove
"--copy-default" from the command above, i.e. it's not totally broken.

Using mkinitrd-6.0.19-4.fc8.x86_64 (on an x86_64 system of course)
