So this patch isn't really required, but you want it for Lenny?

Can you just use misc.c?

I have been thinking of an alternative way to fix this.  A bit of a
compromise between what you want and what I want and perhaps cleaner.

You could define a function grub_err_printf or something like that.
Which you use in grub_print_error.  You can redefine it for
GRUB_UTIL to grub_util_error and to grub_print otherwise.

I didn't study the code.  Will this be easier and cleaner?
